Answer:
C, D, and E
Step-by-step explanation:
When trying to solve for the cost of each item you will find a rainbow fish is $8.50 and a tetra is $2.50. If you use that information to solve the other answer choices C, D, and E would be correct
The value B is 7. If we apply B=7 the answer is 17 for the expression 17×
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is 17×
Step:1
Form an equation from given data,
17×= 17..............................(1)
(∵ product equal to 17)
Step:2
Check for alternatives by apply the value of B in eqn (1)
Assume be value of B for check the equation
B=1
Equation becomes,
17×
= 2.4286 ≠ 17
Take, B=2,
17×
= 4.8571 ≠ 17
Take, B=3,
17×
= 7.2857 ≠ 17
similarly,
B=7,
17×
= 17 (∵ The product equals to 17)
Result:
So, the answer for B is 7.
Answer:
1380 households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we find the sample proportion and estimate for the entire population.
Sample proportion of households in Gettysburg that are likely to be interested in using lawn care services?
92 of 92 + 51 + 17 = 160 households.
92/160 = 0.575
Based on his results, how many households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services?

For the entire population of 2400 households:
0.575*2400 = 1380
1380 households in Gettysburg are likely interested in using lawn care services
