bridget went fishing with her dad. Bridget caught the first fish of the day and it weighed f ounces. that day she caught four more fish one was 2 times the weight of the first fish another was 2 more than 3 times the weight of the first fish. next was 1/2 the weight of the first fish and the last was 3/5 the weight of the first fish. bridgets dad caught four fish. the first fish he caught weighed 2 more than 3 times the weight of the first fish that day one fish weighed 4/5 the weight of the first fish caught that day one weighed 4 more than 2 times the weight of the first fish cought that day and the last weighed 1/2 the weight of the first fish caught.

Answers

Answer 1

Assuming all the fishes caught by Bridget and her dad have the same total weight, then the first fish Bridget caught would weigh 5 ounces while the first fish caught by her dad weighed 17 ounces.

What is weight?

Weight can be defined as the force acting on an object or a physical body due to the effect of gravity. Also, the weight of a physical object (body) is typically measured in Newton or ounces.

How to calculate the weight of the first fish?

First of all, we would determine the weight of all of the fishes caught by both Bridget and her father (dad) while translating the word problem into an algebraic equation as follows:

For Bridget, we have:

Bridget's fish = f + 2f + 3f + 2 + ½f + ⅗f

Bridget's fish = 7 f/10 + 2      ......equation 1.

For her dad, we have:

Dad's fish = 3f + 2 + ⅘f + 2f + 4 + ½f

Dad's fish = 6 3f/10 + 6            ......equation 2.

Equating eqn. 1 and eqn. 2, we have:

7 f/10 + 2 = 6 3f/10 + 6

7 f/10 - 6 3f/10 = 6 - 2

8f/10 = 4

8f = 40

f = 40/8

Bridget, f = 5 fishes.

Since her dad's fish weighed 2 more than 3 times, we have:

Dad = 3f + 2

Dad = 3(5) + 2

Dad = 15 +2

Dad = 17 ounces.

In conclusion, the first fish Bridget caught would weigh 5 ounces while the first fish caught by her dad weighed 17 ounces assuming all the fishes caught by Bridget and her dad have the same total weight.

Complete Question:

Bridget went fishing with her dad. Bridget caught the first fish of the day, and it weighed f ounces. That day, she caught four more fish. One was 2 times the weight of the first fish, another was 2 more than 3 times the weight of the first fish, the next was 1/2 the weight of the first fish, and the last was 3/5 the weight of the first fish. Bridget’s dad caught four fish. The first fish he caught weighed 2 more than 3 times the weight of the first fish caught that day. One fish weighed 4/5 the weight of the first fish caught that day, one weighed 4 more than 2 times the weight of the first fish caught that day, and the last weighed 1/2 the weight of the first fish caught that day.

If all the fish Bridget caught have the same total weight as all the fish her dad caught, then the first fish Bridget caught weighed___ ounces and the first fish her dad caught___ weighed ounces.

Answers

Since chad was charged 1 dollars for each hour for 6 hours, we can represent this as 1 x 6. Now subtract 6 dollars from the bill for the hours and it leaves the initial fee of $4 for rental.

Now check your work:

(1 x 6) + 4 = 10

Answer:

They would pay $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 3 = 12, 22-12= 10. $10 is initial fee.

6 x 3 = 18, 18+10= 28. $28 for 6 hours

Calculate the time it takes to travel to the center.

Answers

G I V E N

Speed of driver = 5 miles/hours

Distance to be covered = 62.8 miles

Substitute x + 3 in for y in the second equation.  you get

[tex]x + 3 = x^{2} + 7x + 8\\x^{2} + 6x + 5 = 0[/tex]

(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0

x + 1 = 0    or  x + 5 = 0

x = - 1       or     x = -5

Using the first equation, let x = -1  and x = -5 in order to get the corresponding values for y

y = -1 + 3 = 2           and y = -5 + 3 = -2

A car ride is drawn on a coordinate plane so that the first card is located at the point by (5,10) what are the coordinates of the first car after a rotation of 270° about the origin

Answers

Answer:

There are two possible solutions:

Clockwise rotation

[tex]P'(x,y) = (-10,5)[/tex]

Counterclockwise rotation

[tex]P'(x,y) = (10, -5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible answers: (i) Clockwise rotation, (ii) Counterclockwise rotation. Vectorially speaking, rotation of point of rotation of a point about another point of reference is defined by:

[tex]P'(x,y) = O(x,y) + r_{OP}\cdot (\cos (\theta_{OP}\pm \theta'),\sin (\theta_{OP}\pm \theta'))[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]O(x,y)[/tex] - Point of reference.

[tex]r_{OP}[/tex] - Length of the segment OP.

[tex]\theta_{OP}[/tex] - Direction of segment OP, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

[tex]\theta '[/tex] - Angle of rotation, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

Please notice that clockiwise rotation occurs when [tex]\theta = \theta_{OP}-\theta'[/tex] and counterclockwise rotation when [tex]\theta = \theta_{OP}+\theta'[/tex]. In addition, we define length and direction of the segment below:

[tex]r_{OP} = \sqrt{(x_{P}-x_{O})^{2}+(y_{P}-y_{O})^{2}}[/tex] (1)

[tex]\theta_{OP} = \tan^{-1} \frac{y_{P}-y_{O}}{x_{P}-x_{O}}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]x_{O} = y_{O} = 0[/tex], [tex]x_{P} = 5[/tex], [tex]y_{P} = 10[/tex] and [tex]\theta' = 270^{\circ}[/tex], then the coordinates of the first car after rotation is:

[tex]r_{OP} = \sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+(10-0)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]r_{OP} \approx 11.180[/tex]

Please notice that original point is located at first quadrant of the Cartesian plane centered at origin, then the direction of the segment OP is:

[tex]\theta_{OP} = \tan^{-1} \frac{10-0}{5-0}[/tex]

[tex]\theta_{OP} \approx 63.435^{\circ}[/tex]

The two solutions are finally presented:

Clockwise rotation

[tex]P'(x,y) = (0,0) + 11.180\cdot (\cos (-206.565^{\circ}),\sin (-206.565^{\circ}))[/tex]

[tex]P'(x,y) = (-10,5)[/tex]

Counterclockwise rotation

[tex]P'(x,y) = (0,0) + 11.180\cdot (\cos (333.435^{\circ}),\sin (333.435^{\circ}))[/tex]

[tex]P'(x,y) = (10, -5)[/tex]

Right triangles always add up to 180 degrees. We know that one angle is 23 degrees, angle A is missing, and the last angle is a right angle which is equal to 90 degrees. Knowing what we know, we must subtract the two known angles from 180 to get angle A.

180 - 90 = 90

90 - 23 = 77

Angle A is equal to 77 degrees.

By selling a watch for Rs 1275, Javed lost 15%. At what price should he sell to make a profit of 10%

Answers

Answer: Rs. 1,650

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the original price of the watch.

If the watch is sold at Rs. 1,275, there is a 15% loss.

Assume the watch is x.

(1 - 15%) * x = 1,275

0.85x = 1,275

x = 1,275 / 0.85

x = Rs. 1,500

Now add a 10% markup on the original:

= (1 + 10%) * 1,500

= 1.1 * 1,500

= Rs. 1,650

As shown in the diagram above, uranium is trapped in a newly formed rock. As the rock ages, more and more of the uranium changes into lead.The age of the rock in years can be found by measuring the rate at which a parent element decays and then measuring the ratio of parent element to daughter element in the rock.
