2.8 meters linen divided into 45 cm pieces = # of pieces and waste

2.8 meter= 2800cms

To solve this, we can create a simple algebraic equation:
45x=2800
Divide both sides by 45.
(45x)/45=(2800)/45
x=62.222

You can make 62 full pieces.

To find the waste, multiply the numbers of pieces by the length of each.
62*45
=2790
2800-<span>2790
=10 centimeters

There would be 10 centimeters of wasted linen.

Hope this helps!

The aquarium at Sea Critters Depot contains 140 fish. Eighty of these fish are green swordtails (44 female and 36 male) and 60 a

maxonik [38]

Given that:

Total number of fish = 140

Fish are green swordtails female = 44

Fish are green swordtails male = 36

Fish are orange swordtails female = 36

Fish are orange swordtails male = 24

Solution:

A. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail.

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{80}{140}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{4}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail is $\dfrac{4}{7}.$

B. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is male.

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{60}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a male, is $\dfrac{3}{7}.$

C. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{36}{140}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{9}{35}$

Therefore, probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail is $\dfrac{9}{35}.$

D.

We have to find the probability that the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male or green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{44+36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{96}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{24}{35}$

Therefore, the probability the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail is $\dfrac{24}{35}.$
