Answer:

The new position of the fish is  = -23.05 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are being told that a fish is swimming 10.2 feet below the water surface

i.e. -10.2 feet

The fish then descend another 12.85 feet.

This means;

The first goes down from its first initial depth.

Mathematically, the subtraction expression that can be used to find the new position of the fish is:

= ( -10.2 + (-12.85) ) feet

Then, the new position of the fish is

= -23.05 feet

At a high school, students can choose between three art electives, four history electives, and five computer electives. Each stu
dangina [55]
If one is to choose among given choices and the order is not important, we use the concept of combination. First, we calculate for the sample space or number available since there is a total number of 12 electives and a student may choose 2 out of them.                           
S = 12C2
That is "the sample space is equal to combination of 12 taken 2". The answer to this is equal to 66. 

Next, we determine the number of outcomes. The equation will be,
                        O = (5C1) x (3C1) 
That is "outcome is equal to combination of 5 taken 1 times combination of 3 taken 1". This is equal to 15. The probability is equal to,
                        P = O/S

Substituting,
                        P = (15/66) = 0.227270
The answer to this item is the third choice.

Jorge and Mary are both filling cups with fruit punch in preparation for a party. After 3 minutes, Jorge had 53 cups left to be
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Mary is filling 36 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets get Jorge's time :

As the rate is constant, we can find the slope to know the number of cups he is filling per minute.

Slope is found using: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

= \frac{53-25}{5-3}

= \frac{28}{2}=14

From the table lets get Mary's time:

\frac{99-81}{1-0.5}

= \frac{18}{0.5}=36

Another data: \frac{63-45}{2-1.5}

=  \frac{18}{0.5}=36

Therefore, we can see that Mary is filling 36 cups in a minute and Jorge is filling 14 cups.

Hence, the correct answer is : Mary is filling 36 cups per minute, which is faster than Jorge.

Which option lists an expression that is not equivalent to 4 2/3?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Option A and Option B are not equivalent to the given expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression:

4^{\frac{2}{3}}

Applying properties of exponents and base:

(a^x)^y = a^{xy}\\a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\

A. Using the exponential property a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\, we can write:

0.25^{\frac{3}{2}} = (\frac{1}{0.25})^{\frac{-3}{2}} = (4)^{\frac{-3}{2}}

which is not equal to the given expression.

B. Using the exponential property a^{-x}= (\frac{1}{a})^x\\, we can write:

(0.25)^{\frac{-3}{2}} = (\frac{1}{0.25})^{\frac{3}{2}} = (4)^{\frac{3}{2}}

which is not equal to the given expression.

C. First we convert the radical form into exponent form. Then by using the property (a^x)^y = a^{xy} of exponent, we can write the following:

^3\sqrt{16} = (16)^{\frac{1}{3}} = (4^2)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 4^{\frac{2}{3}}

which is equal to the given expression.

D. First we convert the radical form into exponent form. Then by using the property (a^x)^y = a^{xy} of exponent, we can write the following:

(^3\sqrt{4})^2 = (4^{\frac{1}{3}})^2 = 4^{\frac{2}{3}}

which is equal to the given expression.

Option D and Option C are equivalent to the given expression.
