A pet shop sells mice, rats and gerbils. The ratio of mice to rats is 4:3 and the ratio of mice to gerbils is 7:4. If there are 32 gerbils in stock at present, how many rats are there? Please could you explain your working out.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

42 rats.

Step-by-step explanation:

since the ratio of mice to gerbils is 7:4, given that there are 32 gerbils, that means 32/4=8 gerbils; in other words, 56mice:32gerbils. Then, to find the # of rats, the ratio is 4:3, so you take the previous value of the # of mice and divide it by 4 to get 14(3)= 42

Answer 2

To understand this question, we need to know what it's asking and what's important and what is not important. Many people skip this step, but it is very important.

It is asking us to Find how many Rats there are.

This problem is defiantly reduced to the simplistic ratio

The next step is to Find clues

The clues are 32 Gerbils, 7:4 and 4:3

Now i like to make a chart but you may skip this step if you want

Gerbils=32

Mice=??

Rats=??

First, we have to find the numbers of Mice.

(Reducing Ratios divide them by a number like 2:4=1:2)

If you have 32 Gerbils and you reduced it to 4, what did you dived?

32/4=8

So, you multiply 7x8=56

There is 56 Mice.

Our table looks like this

Gerbils=32

Mice=56

Rats=??

Now we use the ratio 4:3 to find the numbers of Rats

If there are 56 mice, and it is reduced to 4, we have to do 56/4 to find out what we have to multiply 3 by to get the total numbers of rats (Inverse Operation) by. We get 14.

So now we do 3x14 in which we get 42.

Our chart now looks like this

Gerbils=32

Mice=56

Rats=42

I Hope this helped if you have any questions just tell me

Step-by-step explanation:

the scale factor is 1 : 150

you don't know what that means ?

it means that every unit (here cm) in the diagram corresponds in reality to 150 units.

so, 1 cm in the diagram is 150 cm in reality.

therefore we only need to multiply the sizes in the diagram by 150, and we get the real sizes.

length : 5 × 150 = 750 cm (7.5 m)

breadth : 3 × 150 = 450 cm (4.5 m)

and the perimeter is as for every rectangle :

2×length + 2×breadth = 2×750 + 2×450 = 1500 + 900 =

= 2400 cm (24 m)

An element with mass 330 grams decays by 25.5% per minute. How much of the
element is remaining after 5 minutes, to the nearest 10th of a gram?

Answers

Answer:

After 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each minute, the mass is decreased by a 25.5%. So, we can find the mass after each minute period.

First minute.

330gr - 0.255 (330gr)= (330 - 84.15)gr = 245.85gr

Second minute.

245.85 - 0.255 (245.85) = 245.85 - 62.69 = 183.16gr

Third minute.

183.16 - 0.255 (183.16) = 183.16- 46.70= 136.45gr

Fourth minute.

136.45- 0.255 (183.16) - 136.45 - 34.80= 101.65gr

Fifth minute.

101.65 - 0.255 (101.65)= 101.65 - 25.92= 75.73gr

Therefore, after 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.

Answers

Using the slope of the linear function, it is found that:

The slope is of 0.5, which means that the plant grows by 0.5 inches each day.

A linear function is modeled by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

m is the slope, which is by how much the output y changes when the input x changes by 1.b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

x is the time in days.y is the height in inches.

Two of the points are: (0,0) and (2,1).

The slope is given by change in y divided by change in x, hence:

[tex]m = \frac{1 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

Then, applying the interpretation:

The slope is of 0.5, which means that the plant grows by 0.5 inches each day.

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse

Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two

The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.

There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.

He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.

He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.

He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.

"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.

"All set, Captain."

"You understand the program?"

Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."

Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.

"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.

He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.

But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.

Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....

There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.

Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.

He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

X=4 and x=1

All real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

It is given that, the quadratic equation is, x²-5x+4=0

Any equation of form ax²+bx+c=0  where x is variable and a, b, and c are any real numbers where a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

We have to find the value of x as,

x²-5x + 4=0

x² - x - 4x + 4=0

x(x-1) - 4(x - 1)=0

(x-4)(x-1)=0

X=4 and x=1

Thus, all real values of $x$ such that $x²-5x + 4=0$ will be x=4 and x=1.
