A baby otter was born 3/4 of a month early. At birth it's weight was 7/8 kilograms which is 9/10 kilogram less than the average

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The average weight of new born otter was, $1\frac{31}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let average weight of new born otter be x.

As per the given statement: At birth it's weight was 7/8 kilograms which is 9/10 kilogram less than the average weight of a new born otter in the aquarium

" $\frac{9}{10}$ kg less than average weight of a new born otter" means $x-\frac{9}{10}$

As per the given information, we have;

$\frac{7}{8} = x -\frac{9}{10}$

Add $\frac{9}{10}$ both sides, we have;

$\frac{7}{8} + \frac{9}{10} = x$

Take LCM of 8 and 10 is, 40

⇒ $\frac{35+36}{40}=x$

Simplify:

$x = \frac{71}{40} = 1\frac{31}{40}$

Therefore, the average weight of new born otter was, $1\frac{31}{40}$

What is the length of AC ? 3ft 4ft 9ft 18ft

WINSTONCH [101]

ΔACB and ΔMNB are similar. Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{AC}{MN}=\dfrac{CB}{NB}\\\\MN=9\ ft\\CB=2\cdot3\ ft=6\ ft\\NB=3\ ft$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{AC}{9}=\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\\dfrac{AC}{9}=2\ \ \ \ |\cdot9\\\\AC=18\ ft$
