Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of

fish did he buy?
Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of angelfish Yves bought and y represents the number of parrotfish he bought?




x + y = 6
y = 420x

x + 6y = 420
y = 6x

x – y = 420
y = 6x

x + y = 420
y = 6x

Answer: D is the right equation.


Step-by-step explanation:

Yves total number of fish is 420

x and y represent the number of fish

^ x + y = 420  (we know the equation is an addition form because of the key word  ''and'')

Then it says ''he bought 6 times as many parrot-fish (y) AS angelfish (x)

^ y = 6x

1)421x=6
   x=70

2)x+6(6x)=420
   x+36x=420
   37x=420
    x=11

3)x-6x=420
   5x=420
   x=84

4)x+6x=420
   7x=420
    x=60

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Standard Deviation = 5.928

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data:

Days  Hours spent  (Mean - Hour)²

1              5                61.356

2             7                34.024

3            11                  3.360

4           14                   1.362

5           18               26.698

6          22               84.034

6 days 77 hours,    210.834

mean

77/6 = 12.833    and 210.83/6 =  35.139

Therefore, the square root of 35.139 = 5.928

b) The standard deviation of 5.928 shows how the hours students spend outside of class on class work varies from the mean of the total hours they spend outside of class on class work.

Ike has a paper route. When he carries the Sunday paper his backpack is very heavy and Ike ends up with very sore shoulders.Ike
RideAnS [48]

If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:

1/3x < 20

To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.

x < 60

Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.

Hope this helps!
