in a fish tank, 6/7 of the fish have a red stripe on them.if 18 of the fish have red stripes, how many total fish are in the tank?

Answers

Answer 1
You can solve this problem using ratios.
6/7 of the fish have a red stripe.
18 fish have a red stripe.
6:7 = 18:x
6/7 is just a simplified fraction of 18/x, both of which are equal.
In these fractions, the numerator represents the fish with red stripes and the denominator represents the total number of fish.

6:7 = 18:x
x = Total fish
The question is asking us to find x.

Since the fractions are equivalent and there is a known numerator in both of them, divide the numerator of 18:x, or 18/x, which is 18, by the numerator of 6:7, or 6/7, which is 6.
18 / 6 = 3
Now multiply 3 by the known denominator, which is 7.
7 • 3 = 21

6/7 = 6:7
18/x = 18:x
6:7 = 18:x
6:7 = 18:21
x = 21

There are 18 fish with red stripes.
There are 21 total fish.
6/7, or about 86%, of the fish have red stripes.

The answer is there is a total of 21 fish in the tank.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
y < 2/3x + 3
y >3/2 x + 3
y >2/3 x + 3
y < 3/2x + 3

Answers

The linear equality represented by the graphis [tex]\boxed{{\mathbf{y > }}\frac{{\mathbf{2}}}{{\mathbf{3}}}{\mathbf{x + 3}}}[/tex] and it matches with [tex]\boxed{{\mathbf{OPTION C}}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

From given graph, theline passes through points [tex]\left({3,5}\right)[/tex]  and [tex]\left({ - 3,1}\right)[/tex] as shown below in Figure 1.

The slope of a line passes through points [tex]\left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right)[/tex] and [tex]\left({{x_2},{y_2}}\right)[/tex] is calculated as follows:

[tex]m = \dfrac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}{\text{}}[/tex]   ......(1)

Here, the slope of a line is denoted as  and points are [tex]\left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right)[/tex] and [tex]\left({{x_2},{y_2}}\right)[/tex].

Substitute [tex]3[/tex] for [tex]{x_1}[/tex] , [tex]5[/tex] for [tex]{y_1}[/tex] , [tex]-3[/tex] for [tex]{x_2}[/tex] and [tex]1[/tex] for [tex]{y_2}[/tex] in equation (1) to obtain the slope of a line that passes through points [tex]\left( {3,5}\right)[/tex] and [tex]\left({ - 3,1}\right)[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{1 - 5}}{{ - 3 - 3}}\\&=\frac{{ - 4}}{{ - 6}}\\&=\frac{2}{3}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope is [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope   passes through point  is represented as follows:

[tex]y - {y_1} = m\left({x - {x_1}}\right){\text{}}[/tex]         ......(2)

Substitute [tex]3[/tex] for [tex]{x_1}[/tex] , [tex]5[/tex] for [tex]{y_1}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] for [tex]m[/tex] in equation (2) to obtain the equation of line.

[tex]\begin{aligned}y - 5 = \frac{2}{3}\left({x - 3} \right)\\3\left( {y - 5} \right) = 2x - 6\\3y - 15 = 2x - 6\\3y = 2x - 6 + 15\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Further simplify the above equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3y=2x + 9\\y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{9}{3}\\y=\frac{2}{3}x + 3\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}x + 3[/tex].

Since the shaded part in Figure 1 is above the equation of line [tex]y = \dfrac{2}{3}x + 3[/tex], therefore, greater than sign is used instead of is equal to

Therefore, the inequality is [tex]y > \dfrac{2}{3}x + 3[/tex].

Now, the four options are given below.

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{OPTION A}}\to y < \frac{2}{3}x + 3 \hfill \\{\text{OPTION B}} \to y > \frac{3}{2}x + 3 \hfill \\{\text{OPTION C}} \to y > \frac{2}{3}x + 3 \hfill \\{\text{OPTION D}}\to y < \frac{3}{2}x + 3 \hfill\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Since OPTION C matches the obtained equation that is [tex]y > \dfrac{2}{3}x + 3[/tex].

Thus, the linear equality represented by the graph is [tex]\boxed{{\mathbf{y > }}\frac{{\mathbf{2}}}{{\mathbf{3}}}{\mathbf{x + 3}}}[/tex]and it matches with [tex]\boxed{{\mathbf{OPTION C}}}[/tex]

5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 15

5 over 15 added to 4 over 14

5 over 15 added to 4 over 15

Answers

Sample Space ={5 Red, 8White, 2 Blacks} = 15 possible outcomes.

Favorable outcomes={5 Red}

1) P(drawing 1st Red) = 5/15
2) P(drawing ANOTHER RED) = 4/14 (because one Red already drawn and NOT replaced, so the remaining Red are now 4 and the new sample space is now 14, since 1 red already drawn), Hence
P( 1 Red AND another Red) = (5/15).(4/15) or:
"5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 14"

The correct answer is: 5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 14

What is probability?

Probability is a number that expresses the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

Given this, Deja draws a marble from the bag randomly without looking.

The total number of marbles in the bag is:

5 + 8 + 2 = 15

Deja draws a marble from the bag randomly without looking. Therefore, the probability of drawing a red marble in the first trial is:

P(red on first draw) = 5/15

Deja draws another marble from the bag without replacing the first one. Therefore,

The probability of drawing a red marble in the second trial, given that she drew a red marble in the first trial, is:

P(red on second draw | red on first draw) = 4/14

We multiply these probabilities because the events are independent (i.e., the outcome of the first draw does not affect the outcome of the second draw).

Therefore, the expression that shows the probability of drawing red marbles in both trials is:

= P(red on the first draw) × P(red on second draw | red on the first draw)

= (5/15) × (4/14) = 4/63

So the correct answer is: 5 over 15 multiplied by 4 over 14.

a set of data can have no mode true or false

Answers

If there is NO data value or data values that occur most frequently, we say that the set of data values has no mode.

True, A set of data can indeed have no mode. In statistics, the mode represents the value(s) that appear most frequently in a dataset.

However, there are scenarios where no value occurs more frequently than others, resulting in a lack of a mode. This can happen in several situations. For example, in a uniform distribution where all values occur with equal frequency, or in a dataset with no repetition of values (each value occurs only once). Additionally, if the data is continuous and does not have distinct categories or intervals, it may not have a mode. In summary, while a mode is a common descriptive statistic, it's not a requirement for every dataset, and some datasets do indeed have no mode.

7 indian and 4 chinese finish a job in 5 days. 7 japanese and 3 chinese finish the same job in 7 days. given that the efficiency of each person of a particular nationality is same but different from others.one chinese,one indian and one japanese will complete the work in

Answers

the answer is
20 7/12

The question is about work and efficiency and requires solving a system of equations to find the individual work rates of people from different nationalities. However, because we have insufficent data (two equations but three unknowns), we cannot find a unique solution and thus can't determine how long it would take for one Chinese, one Indian, and one Japanese to complete the work together.

The student's schoolwork question involves solving a problem related to work and efficiency, which is a part of mathematics, specifically related to rate and work problems.

First, let's find the rate of work done by individuals from each nationality. We can set up the equations based on the given information:

Let's denote the efficiency of one Indian as I, one Chinese as C, and one Japanese as J.According to the given information:
7I + 4C = 1/5 (since 7 Indians and 4 Chinese finish the job in 5 days)7J + 3C = 1/7 (since 7 Japanese and 3 Chinese finish the job in 7 days)

We will need to solve this system of equations to find the individual efficiencies I, C, and J. However, we have two equations and three unknowns, so we cannot find unique solutions for I, C, and J unless we have one more equation or information.
Since we cannot determine the individual efficiencies with the given information, we cannot determine how long it would take one Chinese, one Indian, and one Japanese to complete the work.

Red = 1/4
Blue = 2/3
Yellow= ?

First you will need to find how much of the fraction is yellow so:
RED= 1/4 = 3/12
BLUE= 2/3 = 8/12
YELLOW= add 3/12 with 8/12= 11/12
12/12 - 11/12= 1/12

so the yellow marbles are 1/12

yellow + red = 120
1/12    + 3/12= 120
4/12= 120

so 4/12 of the marbles are 120

how much is 8/12?
120 x 2= 240

now: 
red + yellow = 120
blue= 240

how many are in the bag? 120 + 240 = 360

answer: 360
