Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

This is calculated as:

(Number of ducks with bands × Number of examined ducks)/ Number of ducks found with leg band

= Number of ducks with bands = 12 ducks

Number of examined ducks = 20 ducks

Number of ducks found with leg band = 3 ducks

Hence:

12 × 20/3

= 240/3

= 80 ducks

Therefore, 80 ducks used the ponds

Answer:

The correct answer will be; B or 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when the ratio of boys changed from 8 to 32, it increased by "time 4" (8*4 = 32), so the same pattern will be followed for girls, multiplying the number that you already have by four; 10 (amount of girls given) * 4 = 40.

Hope this helped, Good Luck!

a positive number is 7 times another number if 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times th
Neko [114]

Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

<u>A positive number is 7 times another number:</u>

  • a = 7b

<u>If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:</u>

  • a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

<u>To solve this we substitute </u><u>a</u><u> with </u><u>7b</u><u> in the second equation:</u>

  • 7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 2
  • 14b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms
  • 14b - 5b = 15 - 6
  • 9b = 9
  • b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

<u>Then, finding a:</u>

  • a= 7b
  • a=7*1
  • a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

<u>So the numbers are</u> 7 and 1
