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

How long will it take to drive 200 miles if the driver's average speed is 55 mph?
ladessa [460]
We'll be looking for time here.

s=d/t

ts=d

t=d/s

------------------------

Average speed is:

s=(55m)/h

Distance is:

200m

---------------------------

t=(200m)/(55m/h)

t=(200m/1)*(h/(55m))

t=200/55*h

t≈3.64 hours

Describe the dimensions of two different prisms that each have a volume is 2,400 cubic centimeters
Phantasy [73]
One prism with a volume of 2400 might have a rectangular base with a length of 4 and a width of 5, as well as a height of 120. 

V = l x w x h
V = 4  x 5 x 120
V = 2400

This prism would essentially look like a really tall rectangle, since the height is such a large number. I wouldn't accurately represent the units on graph paper, if I were you. Just label the sides with the numbers I gave you.

Another prism with a volume of 2400 might be a rectangular prism with a length of 8, a width of 10, and a height of 30. 

V = l x w x h
V= 8 x 10 x 30
V = 2400

This would also be a tall rectangle, although it isn't as tall. Keep in mind that l x w x h is only the volume formula for a rectangular prism. I only used rectangular prisms because they would be the easiest for this example. A triangular prism has a different volume formula.
