PLEASE HELP WITH QUESTION

In January, the ratio of the number of butterflies to the number of bees in a garden was 7 : 3. In February, the butterfly population decreased by 20% while the bee population increased by 30%.
(a) What was the percentage change in the combined butterfly and bee population?
(b) If there were 168 butterflies left in February, what was the butterfly population in January?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The percentage change in the combined butterfly and bee population was a decrease of 5%.

b) The butterfly population in January was 210.

Step-by-step explanation:

In January, the ratio of the number of butterflies to the number of bees in a garden was 7 : 3.

This means that:

[tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{7}{3}[/tex]

In which x is the number of butterflies and y is the number of bees.

In February, the butterfly population decreased by 20% while the bee population increased by 30%.

This means that:

[tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{7*(1-0.2)}{3*(1+0.3)} = \frac{7*0.8}{3*1.3} = \frac{5.6}{3.9}[/tex]

(a) What was the percentage change in the combined butterfly and bee population?

January: 7 + 3 = 10

February: 5.6 + 3.9 = 9.5

Change

[tex]100*\frac{9.5-10}{10} = -\frac{50}{10} = -5[/tex]

This means that the percentage change in the combined butterfly and bee population was a decrease of 5%.

(b) If there were 168 butterflies left in February, what was the butterfly population in January?

February is 80% of January, for the population of butterflies. So

[tex]0.8x = 168[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{168}{0.8}[/tex]

[tex]x = 210[/tex]

The butterfly population in January was 210.

What’s the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y= -x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation in slope-intercept form, we naturally need both the slope and the y-intercept. Here, our y-intercept is -8, and our slope is -1. The general form of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Using our values of m = -1 and b = -8 then gives us the equation y = -x - 8.

Math!!!! Fined the area of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

Area = 40 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle is derived by the formula,

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]

Length of Base = 8 cm

Height of the triangle = 10 cm

Therefore, area of the given triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(8)(10)[/tex]

                                                             = 40 cm²

Find the indicated side length round to the nearest tenth),

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for 1 they give us an angle and the side next to that angle.. or the Adjacent side and they want to know the Opposite side from the angle sooo let's use ..

SOH CAH TOA    

hmm TOA seems good , it's got the adj and Opp in it ,

Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

Tan(67) = Opp / 26

26 * Tan(67) = Opp

61.2521 = Opp

61.3  ( rounded to nearest 10th )    does this seem big to you?  well it should be quite a bit bigger than the 25 on the base, seems about right to me

for 2 they give us one angle, 48 , and one side, 35 , that is opposite from that angle,  and ask what is the Hyp.  So find a trig function that has those pieces in it.     SOH seems good

sin(Ф) = Opp / Hyp

sin(48) = 35 / Hyp

Hyp = 35 / sin(48)

Hyp = 47.0971  ( and that seems about right for the Hypotenuse )

x = 47.1  ( rounded to the nearest 10th )

for 3  they are asking us to imagine a triangle, I'll draw it and attach it as a picture.    Looking at the picture helps a lot, we can see we have the angle and the adj side and want to find the Opposite side of that big triangle. sooo   use TOA  , it's got those pieces in it

Tan(17) = Opp / 200

200*Tan(17) = Opp

61.1461  =Opp

so the height of the radio mast is  61.1 meters  ( rounded to nearest 10th )

Does this seem a bit easier when you think about how the parts of the trig functions fit on the triangles?    :)   ask if you have any questions

Write an equation that models this situation. At a sports banquet, 8 guests are seated at each of the 15 available tables. How many guests (x) are seated at the tables?

Answers

Answer: The equation that models this situation is:

x = 15 × 8  or x ÷ 8 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the total number of guests who are seated at the tables.

If have to determine how many guests (x) are seated at the tables, all we need is to multiply the 15 with 8.

so the equation becomes

x = 15 × 8  or x ÷ 8 = 15

Therefore, the equation that models this situation is:

x = 15 × 8  or x ÷ 8 = 15

hope this helps good luck

Answers

Answer:

928

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of boys to girls is 9:7, so boys are 9/(9+7) = 9/16 of the total, and the girls are 7/16

the difference is 9/16-7/16 = 2/16 = 1/8, so

x * 1/8 = 116

x = 116*8 = 928

A baker uses 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon for every 2/3 can of pumpkin when making pumpkin muffins. How much cinnamon does the baker need for each can of pumpkin?

Answers

Answer:

9/8 teaspoon

Step-by-step explanation:

The original ratio is 0.75:0.66 (x:y). We need to find x when y = 1.

0.66*1.5 = 1

So, if the original y was multiplied by 1.5 to get 1 (which we need) then we can multiply the original x to get our answer.

0.75*1.5 = 1.125

Convert into fractional form:

1.125 = 9/8

Your answer is 9/8 teaspoon of cinnamon per one can of muffins.

Bob can complete his Math homework in
2.5 hours, but if he works with Joe they can finish in 1.5 hours. How long would it take Joe to finish his homework on his own?

Answers

Answer:

3.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob completes his homework in 2.5 hours.

In 1 hour, he completes 1/2.5 of his homework.

Joe completes his homework in x hours.

In 1 hour, he completes 1/x of his homework.

Together, they complete the homework in 1.5 hours.

In 1 hour, they do 1/1.5 of the homework.

1/2.5 + 1/x = 1/1.5

Convert the decimal numbers in the numerators into fractions.

1/(5/2) + 1/x = 1/(3/2)

2/5 + 1/x = 2/3

Multiply both sides by the LCD, 15x.

6x + 15 = 10x

-4x = -15

x = 3.75

Answer: 3.75 hours

At the end of the month, a restaurant manager used the total food sales for the month and the total number of customers for the month to calculate the mean about spent per customer during that month was $12.59. Is this value a statistical or a parameter? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a parameter, I think. The population is limited to all of the restaurant's customers. Presumably they don't come in to look at the waitresses -- although that might happen. They are there for coffee donuts or a meal, so they are spending money, that's what all of them have in common.

So the population is very confined and very well defined.

The owner is finding a mean. Anything like this is a parameter which defines some aspect of the population.

C. Explain why it’s not necessary to know how many coins Zack bought to determine how much more Dave paid than Zack paid

Answers

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

number of Dave's coins = number of Zack's coins + 5

The question is asking to find the difference in prices paid (thus "more"), completely unrelated to the number of coins Zack bought as these two numbers are independent of one another. The difference in price can be found by simply multiplying the cost of one coin by 5.
