Each day, the polar bear at Mercer's zoo eats 3/5 of a bucket of trout and 1 bucket of salmon. How many buckets of fish does the polar bear eat daily?
Thank you for checking these for me I great appreciate it. You are the best Ms. Sue.
You know students can see this to so they might cheat
Yes, you are correct on all the answers!
1) To find out how much of a bucket the penguins are fed, we multiply the amount fed to polar bears (0.77) by 0.8.
0.77 * 0.8 = 0.616
Therefore, the penguins are fed 0.616 bucket of fish.
2) To determine the amount George picked up on Tuesday, we take 0.5 (amount picked up on Monday) and multiply it by 0.5.
0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25
George picked up 0.25 kilograms on Tuesday.
3) For the amount Janet would have read in 4.7 minutes, we multiply the amount she can read in a minute (2.95) by 4.7.
2.95 * 4.7 = 13.865
Therefore, Janet would have read 13.865 pages.
4) If rock A is 0.5 of the total weight (4.80 kilograms), we can find the weight of rock A by multiplying the total weight by 0.5.
4.80 * 0.5 = 2.4
So, rock A weighs 2.4 kilograms.
