Dr. Howser recently purchased two new fish tanks (Tank A and Tank B) to place in the waiting area of his office. Each fish tank

holds exactly 120 gallons of water. Tank A will hold small fish and Tank B will hold large fish. Dr. Howser plans on buying 3 small fish for every 10 gallons of water in Tank A. He plans on buying 6 large fish for every 40 gallons of water in Tank B.
How many total fish is Dr. Howser planning on buying?
What will be the ratio of the number of small fish he buys to the number of large fish that he buys?

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

How many total fish is Dr. Howser planning on buying?

BOTH tanks hold 120 gallons

Tank A :

3 every 10 --> 120/10 ---> 12

So multiply 3 and 12 ----> 36

36 fishes in tank A

Tank B:

6 every 40 -----> 120/40 ----> 3

So multiply 6 by 3 ----> 18

18 fishes are held in tank B

Add them together:

18 + 36 ----> 54

ANSWER : Dr. Howser is planing on purchesing 54  fish all together.

What will be the ratio of the number of small fish he buys to the number of large fish that he buys

Small --->  36 fish

Large ---> 18 fish  

Small : Large  ----> 36:18

ANSWER: 36:18

if you need it siplified it would be 2:1

30 points! Find the four arithmetic means between -17 and 32.
bearhunter [10]

Answer: - 7.2 , 2.6 , 12.4 and 22.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the arithmetic means be p , q , r ,s , therefore , the sequence becomes:

-17 , p , q , r , s , 32

The first term (a ) = -17

Last term (L) = 32

common difference (d) = ?

number of terms (n ) = 6

We will use the formula for calculating the last term to find the common difference. That  is

L = a + (n - 1 ) d

Substituting the values , we have

32 = -17 + (6-1) d

32 = -17 + 5d

32 + 17 = 5d

49 = 5d

Therefore: d = 9.8

We can therefore find the values of p , q , r , and s

p is the second term , that is

p = a + d

p = -17 + 9.8

p = -7.2

q = a + 2d

q = - 17 + 19.6

q = 2.6

r = a + 3d

r = - 17 + 29.4

r = 12.4

s = a + 4d

s = - 17 + 39.2

s = 22.2

Therefore : the arithmetic means are : - 7.2 , 2.6 , 12.4 and 22.2

hannahs exercise goal is to walk at least 6 1/2 miles this week. she has already walked 2 3/4 miles this week. write and solve a
Ne4ueva [31]

We want to write an inequality that tells how much Hannah should walk this week. The inequality will be:

x ≥ (3 + 3/4) mi

<h3>Finding the inequality:</h3>

We know that she already did walk 2 3/4 miles this week, and she wants to walk at least 6 1/2 miles.

So to reach that minimum, she needs to walk:

(6  1/2)mi - (2 + 3/4) mi = (3 + 3/4) mi

And she can walk that or more, so the inequality is:

x ≥ (3 + 3/4) mi

Where x represents how much she will walk this week.
