Let the total number of fish in the aquarium be x .

And out of them, 2/5 are surgeonfish , that is

\frac{2x}{5}

And out of 2/5 surgeonfish , 3/4 are yellowtangs, that is

\frac{3}{4}* \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{6x}{20} = \frac{3x}{10}

Required fraction is

\frac{3x/10}{x} = \frac{3}{10}

How many times can 8 go into 60
nignag [31]

The correct answers are:

(1) If EXACT number is required, then 7.5.

(2) If multiple of 8 is required then the answer will be 7 times with a remainder of 4.

Explanation:

First you need to express it in the form of equation to make things simpler as follows:

8 * y = 60

We need to find y; to do so, divide 60 by 8:

y = \frac{60}{8}

y = 7.5

Now if you want to find the whole number, then the answer will be 7 times, with 4 left over.

In a survey of 248 people, 156 are married, 70 are self-employed, and 25 percent of those who are married are self-employed. If
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The probability of selecting a  person which is  self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given survey says:

Total number of people surveyed = 248

Number of people married = 156

The number of people are self employed = 70

Now, 25% of people who are married are SELF EMPLOYED.

Now, calculating 25% of 156 , we get:

\frac{25}{100} \times 156 = 39

⇒ out of total 156 married people, 39 are self employed.

So, number of  self employed people but  not married

= Self employed people - Self employed people PLUS  married

=  70  -  39   =  31.

So, the probability that the person selected will be self-employed but not married = \frac{\textrm{The total number of people self-employed but not married}}{\textrm{Total Number of people}} =  \frac{31}{248}  = \frac{1}{8}

Hence The probability of selecting a  person which is  self-employed but not married equals 1/8.

Lines g, h, and l are parallel and m&lt; 2 = 132°.
xxMikexx [17]
M < 2 and m < 6 are corresponding angles and are equal....so < 6 = 132.

< 6 and < 8 form a line and are equal to 180

< 6 + < 8 = 180
132 + < 8 = 180
< 8 = 180 - 132
< 8 = 48 <===
