Answer: 9 tilapia

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.

If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:

6     :      20

x     :       30

Cross multiply:

20x = 180

x = 180 / 20

x = 9 tilapia

How do you this. Explain if you can so I can learn thx

Answer:

2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = - 32t² + 64t

When the frisbee lands the height h = 0, that is

- 32t² + 64t = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )

32t² - 64t = 0 ← factor out 32t from each term

32t(t - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for t

32t = 0 ⇒ t = 0

t - 2 = 0 ⇒ t = 2

t = 0 represents when the frisbee was thrown

and t = 2 when it lands

Hence it takes 2 seconds for the frisbee to land.
