Joe is a scientist who works with the Department of Agriculture. In order to ensure a good harvest, Joe keeps track of various l

ocal beetle populations. He catches 590 beetles, marks them, and releases them. Then later, he catches 2,000 beetles, 59 of which are marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the beetle population?

Answer:

There are 20,000 Beatles in the total population

Step-by-step explanation:

59 Beatles out of the 2,000 are marked (2.95% or 59/2000)

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

1 / 0.0295 = 33.8983051

That means that the total population is 33.89 times larger than the 590 marked beatles.

33.8983051 x 590 = 20,0000 Beatles total

Answer:

Approximately 20,000 beetles

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is approximately 20,000 beetles because Joe found 590 beetles and marked them. When he found the other 2,000 beetles, 59 of them were marked. 59 is 10% of 590. Since Joe found 2,000 beetles that must be 10% of some number. To find that number, you must multiply 2,000 by 10. So 2,000 x 10 is 20,000, so there is approximately 20,000 beetles

When a customer wants pie for dessert, you cut whole pies into 7 equal slices. At the end of your shift, 3737 of a cherry pie, 2
matrenka [14]

the answer is 13/7 and here is the correct question

the answer is 13/7 and here is the correct questionwhen a customer wants pie for dessert you cut a whole pies into 7 equal slices...at the end of your shift 3/7 of. a cherry pie.2/7. of an apple pie.3/7 of a peach pie.and 5/7 of a blueberry pie remain...How much pie remains as a fraction of. a whole pie...

Answer:

13/7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have

3/7 of cherry pie

2/7 of apple pie

3/7 of peach pie

5/7 of blueberry pie

Now we have to add up all of these in order to get the total amount of pie

3/7 + 2/7 +3/7 +5/7

= (3+2+3+5)/7

=13/7

If expressed as a mixed fraction

= 1 6/7

In conclusion, 13/7 pie remains as a fraction of a whole.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the new pizza must meet the conditions:

  • Be an irregular polygon (different sides and/or angles).
  • Have at least five sides.
  • Have the approximately the same area as a 14" diameter circle.
  • Fit in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square.
  • Be divisible into 8-12 equal pieces.

For simplicity, I will choose a polygon with 5 sides (a pentagon), and I will use 2 right angles (a "house" shape).

Split the pentagon into a rectangle on bottom and triangle on top.  If we cut the rectangle into 8 pieces like a regular pizza, and the triangle in half, we get 10 triangles.

Now we just need to figure out the dimensions.  The area of a 14" circular pizza is:

A = πr²

A = π (7 in)²

A ≈ 154 in²

That means the area of each triangle slice needs to be 15.4 in².  If we make the total width of the pentagon 14", then the width of each triangle is 7", and the height of each triangle is:

A = ½ bh

15.4 in² = ½ (7 in) h

h = 4.4 in

Which makes the total height of the pentagon 3h = 13.2 in.

So, our 13.2" × 14" pentagon has at least 5 sides, is irregular, has the same area as a 14" diameter circle, fits in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square, and can be divided into 8-12 equal pieces.

Of course, there are many possible solutions.  This is just one way.
