John caught 24 trout in bass while on a fishing trip. The total weight of his catch was 137 pounds. The average weight of a trout was 2.5 pounds, and the average weight of a bass was 8 pounds. How many trout and how many bears did he catch?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

trouts = 10 and bears = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of trouts and bears be x and y respectively.

This means that since he caught 24 trout and bass, we have;

x + y = 24 - - - (eq 1)

Now, average weight of trout is 2.5 pounds and average weight of bass is 8 pounds.

Thus;

2.5x + 8y = 137 - - - (eq 2)

From eq(1), let's make x the subject.

Thus;

x = 24 - y

Put 24 - y for x in eq(2)

2.5(24 - y) + 8y = 137

60 - 2.5y + 8y = 137

5.5y + 60 = 137

5.5y = 137 - 60

y = 77/5.5

y = 14

x = 24 - 14

x = 10

Thus, trouts = 10 and bears = 14

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.
vertex (4.1), point (3,-4)

Answers

Answer:

              [tex]\boxed{\bold{y=-5(x-4)^2+1}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]    - vertex form of equation of a parabola where vertex is (h,k)

[tex]y=a(x-4)^2+1[/tex]  - vertex form of equation of a parabola where vertex is (4,1)

The parabola goes through point (3, -4) so if x=3 then y=-4

[tex]-4=a(3-4)^2+1\\\\-4-1=a(-1)^2+1-1\\\\-5=a\cdot1\\\\{}\ \ a=-5[/tex]

Therefore the equation of the parabola in vertex form with vertex (4,1), going through point (3,-4):

[tex]y=-5(x-4)^2+1[/tex]

24 snacks.

Answers

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution of the number of snacks grabbed is skewed right with a centre around 18 and varies from 12 to 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is the stem plot?

A stem and leaf plot also called a stem and leaf diagram is a way of organizing data into a form that makes it easy to observe the frequency of different types of values. It is a graph that shows numerical data arranged in order. Each data value is broken into a stem and a leaf.

A stem and leaf plot is represented in form of a special table where each first digit or digit of data value is split into a stem and the last digit of data in a leaf. This " | " symbol is used to show stem values and leaf values and it is called as stem and leaf plot key.

First, we can see if the graph is symmetric. A symmetric graph is even on both sides of the centre. As there are a lot more students that grabbed a small number of snacks, the data is not even around the centre (which is somewhere around 20 or 30 snacks). This means that the graph is not symmetric, making the second answer incorrect.

Next, we can check if the graph is skewed right or left. If the left of the graph represents a smaller amount of snacks and the right of it represents a higher number of snacks, we can see that most of the data is on the left of the graph. There are a few values to the right, but the overwhelming amount of data is on the left, making the distribution skewed to the right. This keeps the first and last answers possible,

Moreover, we can find the centre of the distribution. This is generally equal to the median, which is 18, so the centre is around 18.

After that, we can see what values vary. The lowest tens value is 1, and the lowest value in that is 2, making the lowest value 12. Similarly, the highest tens value is 4, and the highest value there is 5, making the range 12 to 45. This leaves the last answer, but we can check the outliers to make sure.

With the data, we can calculate the first quartile to be 15, the third quartile to be 21.5, and the interquartile range to be 21.5-15 = 6.75. If a number is less than Q₁ - 1.5 × IQR or greater than Q₃ + 1.5 × IQR, it is a potential outlier. Applying that here, the lower bound for non-outliers is 15 - 6.5 × 1.5 = 5.25, and the upper bound if 21 + 6.5 × 1.5 = 30.75. No values are less than 5.25, but there are four values greater than 30.75 in 32, 38, 42, and 45. There are possible outliers at 38, 42, and 45, matching up with the last answer.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

Given that the tanks at the Georgia Aquarium hold approximately 8.4 × 10⁶ gallons of water. The tanks at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas hold about 400,000 gallons of water.

The number of the time will be calculated as below:-

= 8.4 × 10⁶ / 400,000

= 20.1

the questions. Explain your reasoning. (Show all your work)

1. At this rate, how much would 6 bagels cost?

2. How many bagels can you buy for $50?

Answers

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

Lets says the number of bagels is B and the price in dollars is D.

Equation: D × 12/5 = B

1. 6 is half of a dozen, which means the price would be half of 5, 2.5

2. $50 is 10× the amount of $5, so the amount of bagels would be 10 × 12, which is 120 bagels.

Hope this helped! (brainliest please)

A Dozen mathematically means 12.

It is important to note that:

$5 = 12 bagels

1) 12 bagels = $5

          6 bagels = ?

Cross Multiply

6 bagels  x $5 / 12

= $7.50

Therefore, 6 bagels would cost $7.50

2) $5 = 12 bagels

         $50 = ?

Cross multiply

$50 x 12 bagels / $5

= 120 bagels

Therfore, you can buy 120 bagels for $50
