Paula caught a tarpon with a weight that was 11 times as great as the weight of a permit fish she caught. The total weight of the two fish was 168 pounds.
How much did each fish weigh?

The permit fish weighed ___
pounds.

The tarpon weighed ___
pounds.

Answers

Answer 1
Okay so let’s say the permit fish is the variable p.
The tarpon is 11p.

So, to set up the equation,
(11p)+p=168
Start by combining like terms on the left
12p=168
Divide both sides by 12 to isolate p
p=14
So therefore, the permit fish was 14 pounds.

To find the weight of the tarpon, insert the 14 back into (11p) 11(14)=154.

You can check by adding these together 14+154=168


So:
The permit fish weighed 14 pounds.

The tarpon weighed 154 pounds.

Hope this helps!

Calculating the Least Common Multiple

3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       16

     The right denominator is :       12

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

Product of all

Prime Factors  16 12 48

     Least Common Multiple:

     48

Calculating Multipliers :

3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 3

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 4

Making Equivalent Fractions :

3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      117 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   ———————

        L.C.M               48  

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      47 • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————

        L.C.M               48  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

117 • 3 - (47 • 4)     163

——————————————————  =  ———

        48             48

Final result :

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+2=2/3x

2= 2/3x-1/2x

2=4/6x-3/6x

2=1/6x

multiply both sides by 6

x=12

Answer: x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 3= 2/3x + 1​

= 1/2x + 3 - 3 = 2/3x +1 -3

Simplify

= 1/2x = 2/3x -2

= -1/6x = -2

multiply both sides by -6

(-1/6x)(-6) = (-2)(-6)

A weather balloon is launched in Texas from an altitude of 240 feet above sea level. If the balloon rises at a constant rate of 65 feet per

First off there is not any choices, second off the answer is it would take

165.5 minutes

It will take the balloon 165 minutes 30 seconds to reach an altitude of 11,000

What is a function?

A function can be defined as the outputs for a given set of inputs.

The inputs of a function are known as the independent variable and the outputs of a function are known as the dependent variable.

Given, A weather balloon is launched in Texas from an altitude of 240 feet above sea level, and the balloon rises at a constant rate of 65 feet per minute.

Let the height of the balloon is h(t) where t represents time in minutes.

∴ The function that represents the height of the balloon at any point of time is h(t) = 65t + 240.

So, time required to reach the balloon an altitude of 11,000 feet is,

11000 = 65t + 240.

65t = 11000 = 240.

65t = 10760.

t = 10760/65.

t = 165.5 minutes or 165 minutes 30 seconds.

d. 12.8000 oz.

e. 13.5908 oz.

Answers

Answer:

a. 13.7084 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for Lower Control Limit =

(LCL = x-bar - A²R-bar)

x - bar = 14 oz

A2 = 0.729

R - bar = 0.4 oz

= 14 - 0.729 × 0.4

= 14 - 0.2916

In this triangle it is clear that the unknown side x is the hypotenuse of both the triangles that are being formed . So , let us take any one of the triangles and with it's length let us find the length of their hypotenuse which is side x .

= 25 + 25 = x²

= 50 = x²

A taxi charges $2.50 for each ride plus $1.25 per mile traveled.
If the total charge for one ride was $8.75, how many miles
were traveled?

Answers

Answer:

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to figure out how many times $1.25 was charged. First, we have to do 2.50 + 1.25 = 3.75 + 1.25 = 5 + 1.25 = 6.25 + 1.25 = 7.5 + 1.25 = 8.75

We charged $1.25 5 times, so this means that it was 5 miles.

Answer:

5 miles

Explanation:

this is because if you subtract 2.50 from 8.75 then you will be left with 6.25. after you do this then you divide 6.25 by 1.25 and this will give you 5 miles.
