Let the bushels of wheat is b and weight of the wheat is w.
We can say that more the bushels of wheat more will be the weight of the wheat.
Hence, the quantities vary directly.
Therefore, we have
, where k is the constant of variation.
Now, we have been given that 5 bushels of wheat weigh 136 kg. Thus, we have

Thus, the constant of variation is 
Now, we have been given 3.5 bushels of wheat. Hence, we have

Therefore, 3.5 bushels of wheat weigh 95.2 kg
8 because 4^2 is equal to 16 and the half of 16 is 8
Answer:
Let x = the smaller number
Let 3x + 15 = the larger number
x + 3x + 15 = 63
4x = 48
x = 12
3(12) + 15 = 51
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15.87% of blue whales eat more than 5,850 pounds of fish
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = 5000
Standard Deviation = 850
We need to find P(x>5850) = ?
We can find using z-score
z = x - mean/ standard deviation
z = 5850 - 5000/850
z = 850/850
z = 1
Now, P(x>5850) = P(z>1)
Finding value of P(z>1) by looking at the z-score table
P(z>1) = 0.8413
The normal distribution gives area to the left , so subtracting it from 1 to gain the answer
1-0.8413 = 0.1587
Now, to find percentage multiply it with 100
0.1587 * 100 = 15.87 %
15.87% of blue whales eat more than 5,850 pounds of fish
