Answer:

9 zebra fish, 4 neon tetras

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of tetras and z represent the number of zebra fish.

The total number of fish Ernesto bought is represented by t + z = 13 and the total cost of Ernesto's fish purchase is represented by 2.30t + 2.15z = 28.55.

To find out how many of each type of fish Ernesto bought multiply the first equation by 2.15 and then write the system of equations so that the equations are aligned in order to subtract the second equation from the first:

2.15t + 2.15z = 27.95

−(2.30t + 2.15z = 28.55)

−0.15t = −0.6

Solve for t:

t = 4

Substitute t = 4 into one of the original equations and solve for t:

4 + z = 13

z = 9

Ernesto bought 9 zebra fish and 4 neon tetras.

How many different rectangles can you draw, that has an area of 28 cm sq. ? pls help me
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

You can draw three rectangles:

1- 28 * 1.

2- 14*2

3- 7*4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total area of 28. If we use only integer numbers, we can find all the divisors of 28. The possible rectangles will be organized with them, taking into account that the product of them, which means the area should be 28.

28 = 1*2*2*7

We can organize them as follows:

R1: 28 = 1*28

R2: 28 = 2*14

R3: 28 = 4*7

Finally, we can conclude that there are only three possibilities

1- 28 by 1.

2- 14 by 2

3- 7 by4

The perimeters will be:

Perimeter 1 = 2x1 + 2x28 = 58

Perimeter 2 = 2x2 + 2x14 = 32

Perimeter 3 = 2x4+2x7 = 22

Hello is it anyone up here that can help me with my question please

Simple interest is basically the cost of borrowing money over a period of time.  So if you have borrowed $110.00 at 5% for two years, you will multiply the 5% by the two years (presuming that it is 5% annual percentage rate (APR).  So, You will multiply the 110 by 10% (or .1) to get $11 dollars of simple interest.
