Answer:

20 fish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert ratio to fraction:

There were 5 / (5 + 2) = 5/7 of fish.

So number of fish = 5/7 * 28

= 20.

Evaluate. −8/125−−−−√3<br> A. -4/25<br> B. −2/5<br> C. 4/25<br> D. 2/5
larisa [96]
The correct question is: evaluate

\sqrt[3]{- \frac{8}{125} }

The answer is: option B. -2 / 5

Explanation:

\sqrt[3]{- \frac{8}{125} }=- \frac{ \sqrt[3]{8} }{ \sqrt[3]{125} } =- \frac{ \sqrt[3]{2^3} }{ \sqrt[3]{5^3} } =- \frac{2}{5}

A jet flies at a rate of 1.3x10^3 feet per hour . Written in scientific notation which is the best estimate of how many feet the
vichka [17]

Answer:

3 * 10^6 if the answer is 3.64 * 10^6, you really ought to argue the meaning of estimate with your instructor.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very valuable question. Put your calculator away when you answer it. Using a calculator is sort of cheating.

1.3 * 10^3 roughly is roughly 1 * 10^3

2.8*10^3 hours is roughly 3 * 10^3

Forget the powers for now and just work with the 1 and 3

1*3 equals 3.

10^3 * 10^3 = 10^6 when the base of two numbers is the same (10 in this case) then the powers are added.

10^(3 + 3) = 10^6

So the answer is roughly 3*10^6

Now you can take out your calculator and get the answer.

1.3*10^3 * 2.8 * 10^3 = 3.64 * 10 ^ 6

Notice that the estimate (done in my head) is close enough to tell you what the answer should be. On a test, that's a very handy skill.
