Using compatible number to estimate the quotient 2116÷7

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

302

Step-by-step explanation:

7 goes into 21 3 times, so the first digit of the quotient is 3. There's no remainder. Bringing down the second "1," we find this indivisible by 7, and so bring down the 6.Thus, Remember that 7 goes into 14 2 times. Thus, a good estimate would be 302.

The reproduction function for a sardine is f(p) = −0.0005p2 + 4p, where p and f(p) are in hundred metric tons. Find the populati

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Population (p) = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield (f(p)) = 8,000 hundred metric tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of sardines 'p', for which the derivate of the function f(p) is zero, is the population that gives the maximum sustainable yield:

$f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\\frac{df(p)}{dp}=-0.0010p+4\\-0.0010p+4 =0\\p=4,000$

The size of the maximum sustainable yield is:

$f(p) = -0.0005p^2 + 4p\\f(4,000) = -0.0005(4,000^2) + 4*4,000\\f(4,000) = 8,000$

Population = 4,000 hundred metric tons

Size of the yield = 8,000 hundred metric tons

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $0.15 stamps Ivan bought. Then the value of his stamps is ...

0.15x +0.40(35-x) = 7.25

-0.25x +14.00 = 7.25 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

-0.25x = -6.75 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 14.00

x = 27 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.25

Ivan bought 27 $0.15 stamps.
