A team of biologists captured and tagged 65 deer in a forest. Two weeks later, the
biologists captured a sample of 30 deer from the same forest and found that 5 of
them were tagged. Which proportion could be used to estimate the number of deer in
the forest?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6x= 65

Step-by-step explanation:

so we can assume that 5/10= 1/6 of the deer were tagged

lets call the total number of dear x

so 1/6x= 65

x= 380

Answer 2

The proportion that can be used to estimate the number of deer in the forest is 5/30 = 65/390

To estimate the number of deer in the forest, we can set up a proportion using the tagged deer in the sample as a representative of the entire population.

Let's denote the number of deer in the forest as 'x'.

We know that 65 deer were tagged out of the total population. In the sample of 30 deer, 5 were tagged.

Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:

Tagged deer in sample / Total deer in sample = Tagged deer in population / Total deer in population

5 / 30 = 65 / x

Now we can cross-multiply to solve for x:

5x = 65 * 30

5x = 1950

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 1950 / 5

x = 390

Therefore, the proportion that can be used to estimate the number of deer in the forest is 5/30 = 65/390

31 tds airastorg/student/V996/Pages/TestShellaspx

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the expression so you know the coefficients of x and y.

4(2x+y+2y) = 4(2x+3y) = 8x+12y

8x+12y  =  8x+12y

6x+7y  ≠  6x+12y

8x+y+2y  = 8x + 3y ≠  8x+12y

8x+4y+8y = 8x+12y = 8x+12y

The equivalent expression is 8x + 4y + 8y.

Option D is the correct answer.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

4(2x + y + 2y)

This can be simplified as,

8x + 4y + 8y

Thus,

The equivalent expression is 8x + 4y + 8y.

7.5 lbs of walnuts? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

$34.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, how many 3/4 lbs are in 7.5 lbs?

7.5 lbs = 15/2 lbs.

(15/2) / (3/4) = 10

There are 10 "3/4" lbs in 7.5 lbs.

So, if it costs $3.45 to purchase 3/4 lbs of chopped walnuts, it would cost $3.45 times 10 dollars to purchase 7.5 lbs of chopped walnuts, or $34.50.

Answer: The person up their is correct

D = 45 and C = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to measure an angle is to use a protractor. To do this, you'll start by lining up one ray along the 0-degree line on the protractor. Then, line up the vertex with the midpoint of the protractor. Follow the second ray to determine the angle's measurement to the nearest degree.
