Elena has bought 320 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 7 times as many triggerfish as parrotfish. How many of each

STALIN [3.7K]

The total number of fish bought was 320. And you know she bought two types of fish. The best way to solve this is guess and check. It would be the fastest. So she bought 7 times as many trigger-fish as parrot fish that means the number of trigger-fish bought was 7p. This means 320 = 7p +p. So all you do is take educated guesses for the number of parrot fish and check if it is right. So if she bought 50 parrot fish. 7(50) + 50 = 400. Close but a bit high. Lets keep guessing. 7(35) + 35 = 245. So now we know the answer is between 50 and 35. So lets try 40. 7(40) + 40 =320. That works so we know she bought 40 parrot fish and 280 trigger-fish.

A community swimming pool is a rectangular prism that is 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 5 feet deep. The wading pool is half as

topjm [15]

Answer:

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of rectangular prism, we get the respective formulas for the volumes of the community swimming pool and the wadling pool, respectively:

Community swimming pool

$V_{c} = l\cdot w\cdot h (1)$

Wading pool

$V_{w} = \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w (2)$

Where:

l – Length of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

h – Depth of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

w – Width of the swimming pool, measured in feet.

$V_{c}$ – Volume of the community swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

$V_{w}$ – Volume of the wading swimming pool, measured in cubic feet.

The ratio of the volume of the community swimming pool to the volume of the wadling pool is:

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{l\cdot w \cdot h}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot l \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\right)\cdot w} (3)$

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4} }$

$\frac{V_{c}}{V_{w}} = 4$

The volume of the community swimming pool is 4 times greaters than the volume of the wading pool.

Answer:

1478 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the distance divided by the time.

$\text{Rate of change} = \dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} = \dfrac{\text{2956 mi}}{\text{2 h}} = \textbf{1478 mi/h}$
