First, the ratio is 3:5. which means 3 redfish for every 5 bluefish. Since there are 20 bluefish, that means that is 4x more than 3:5. The total number of redfish are 12.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

$R(t)=10+0.50t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of years.

We have been given that When Joseph first starts working at a grocery store, his hourly rate is $10.

For each year he works at the grocery store, his hourly rate increases by $0.50. Increase in hourly rates after t years would be $0.50t$

The hourly rates after t years will be 10 plus $0.50t$ .

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$R(t)=10+0.50t$

Therefore, the function $R(t)=10+0.50t$ represents Joseph's hourly rates after t years.

Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of s

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct option is;

0.4 represents the height of each block

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

Kirima first builds a firm base of a given height

Kirima is building her wall using uniformly sized bricks

the height of the wall she is building depends on the number of blocks stacked to form the wall

Therefore, variable that depends on other variable, which is the dependent variable, y, is the height of the wall

The independent, which determines the value of the dependent variable is the number of blocks added, x

The gradient of the equation is the height of each block = 0.4

The y-intercept is the starting value, which is the firm base of dimension, 0.6

Therefore, 0.4 represents the height of each block.

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t

Serggg [28]

ANSWER

The correct option is,
$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
$x = 2$
and
$x = 7.$

This tells us that,

$x - 2$

and
$x - 7$

are factors of the quadratic equation.

This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

$(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

We were also told that

$k$

is a non zero constant.

This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.

Our equation now becomes,

$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

Hence the correct answer is A.
