Answer:
279 silvery minnow
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of Silvery Minnows initially tagged = 54
Number of minnows captured = 62
Number of tagged minnows in captured ones = 12
Remember that in the very beginning there were no tagged minnows. 54 minnows were captured, tagged and released. This means, there are total 54 tagged minnows in the entire population. Lets say there are x number of minnows in total.
So, in x minnows, 54 are tagged ones.
When 62 minnows are captured, only 12 are tagged ones and remaining are un-tagged. Since, the minnows were randomly captured, we can develop a proportion from this case to estimate the total population of minnows in the Rio Grande River.
Ratio of tagged minnows to total population must be equal to the ratio of captured tagged minnows in total captured minnows.
i.e.
This means, there were 279 silvery minnows in the Rio Grande River.
So, first we must calculate 37/50 as a percentage. First -- we know that 60 is a factor of 100, so we multiply the denominator by 2 to give us 100 (100 is the maximum is a percentage (in this case)). We also multiple the numerator by 2 as "whatever you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator vice versus". This overall gives us 74/100 which is 74%. Therefore 37/50 is bigger than 73%. Hope this helped ;)
Alright, so if we wanted to take, for example, cell phone owners per 100 people and compare Germany to the USA, we can start by making up a number for Germany - 80 - and a number for the USA - 70. Next, the ratio of people using cell phones is 80/70=8/7 with the numerator being the people from Germany and the denominator being the number from the USA.
Answer:
Either way, it gives us the prime factorization for 50 that is 5 x 5 x 2. The prime factorization of 50 can be expressed using exponents as 5^2 x 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 3 = -12(x - 5)
