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

an equilateral triangle and a regular pentagon have the same perimeter. Each side of the pentagon is 3 inches shorter than each
klemol [59]
The answer is 4.5 for the side length of the pentagon and 7.5 is the side length for the triangle because 7.5*3(3 sides) = 22.5 and 4.5*5(5 sides)= 22.5. The perimeter is 22.5

Charlie watched 1 3 of a movie in the morning, and he watched some more at night. By the end of the day, he still had 2 5 of the
Finger [1]

Answer: 4/15 of the movie

Step-by-step explanation:

In the morning, Charlie watched ¹/₃ of a movie. He then watched some more at night.

At the end of the day, he still had ²/₅ of the movie to watch.

The proportions of an item must always add up to one. This means that if you added the 1/3 to the 2/5 and then to the fraction Charlie watch at night, they should add up to one.

¹/₃ + ²/₅ + x = 1

x = 1 - ¹/₃ - ²/₅

x = \frac{15 - 5 - 6 }{15} \\\\x = \frac{4}{15}

I’m trying to correct this problem but I don’t know how can someone help me
BartSMP [9]

Remark

It is not a straight line distance from the park to the mall. None of the answers give you that result. And if you know what displacement is, none of the answers are really displacement either. The distance is sort of a "as the crow flies." distance. There's a stop off in the middle of town.

Method

You need to use the Pythagorean Formula twice -- once from the park to the city Center and once from the city center to the mall.

Distance from the Park to the city center.

a = 3   [distance east]

b = 4  [distance south]

c = ??

c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2        Take the square root of both sides.

c = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)

c = sqrt(9 + 16)          Add

c = sqrt(25)

c = 5

So the distance from the park to the city center is 5 miles

Distance from City center to the mall

a = 2 miles [distance east]

b = 2 miles [distance north]

c = ??

c^2 = a^2 + b^2   Substitute

c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2   Expand this.

c^2 = 4 + 4

c^2 = 8             Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(8)

c = sqrt(8)          This is the result

c = 2.8

Answer

Total distance = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8
