it will be easier if you draw a table for this one . let t be the total trout . total speckled trout ( st ) = 645 if female speckled trout = fst then male speckled trout = 45 + 2 fst therefore 45 + 2 fst + fst = 645 we solve and get fst = 200 and mst = 445 ratio of fst to mrt = 4 : 3 we have fst = 200 solve ratio to get mrt = 150 now ratio of mrt to t = 3 : 20 we have mrt = 150 solve ratio to get t = 1000 now unless youve drawn the table it might get a little complex . from above we have mst and mrt mst + mrt = 445 + 150 = 595 so t - 595 = total female trouts 1000 - 595 = 405 female trouts we have from above that fst = 200 so ( whew ! ) frt = 405 - 200 = 205 answer is d | null |

e ) 36.4 %D.
"( 1 ) when 30 and 40 has equal weight or weight = 1 / 2 , the answer would be 35 . ( 2 ) when 40 has larger weight than 30 , the answer would be in between 35 and 40 . unfortunately , we have 2 answer choices d and e that fit that condition so we need to narrow down our range . ( 3 ) get 72000 / 129000 = 24 / 43 . 24 / 43 is a little above 24 / 48 = 1 / 2 . thus , our answer is just a little above 35 . answer : d" | null |

Question: a tank is filled to one quarter of its capacity with a mixture consisting of water and sodium chloride . the proportion of sodium chloride in the tank is 50 % by volume and the capacity of the tank is 24 gallons . if the water evaporates from the tank at the rate of 0.5 gallons per hour , and the amount of sodium chloride stays the same , what will be the concentration of water in the mixture in 4 hours ?
A.40 %.
B.35 %.
C.30 %.
D.25 %.
e ) 20 %D.
"the number of gallons in the tank is ( 1 / 4 ) 24 = 6 gallons the amount of sodium chloride is 0.5 ( 6 ) = 3 gallons at the start , the amount of water is 0.5 ( 6 ) = 3 gallons after 4 hours , the amount of water is 3 - 0.5 ( 4 ) = 1 gallon the concentration of water is 1 / ( 3 + 1 ) = 1 / 4 = 25 % the answer is d ." | null |

Question: a man covers a certain distance on bike . had he moved 4 kmph faster , he would have taken 72 minutes less . if he moves slow by 4 kmph , he will take hours more to cover the distance . what is the distance travelled by him ?
A.48 km.
B.56 km.
C.64 km.
D.96 km.
e ) 106 kmD.
explanation : let the distance be ' d ' and the speed be ' x ' kmph . d / x + 4 = d / x - 72 / 60 d / x - d / ( x - y ) = 6 / 5 = d ( x + 4 - x ) / x ( x - 4 ) = 6 / 5 ∴ d / x ( x + 4 ) = 3 / 10 . . . . . . ( i ) d / x - 4 - d / x = 2 ∴ dx - dx + 4 d / x ( x - 4 ) = 2 ∴ d / x ( x - 4 ) = 1 / 2 . . . . . ( ii ) from equation ( i ) and ( ii ) : 3 / 10 x ( x + 4 ) = 1 / 2 x ( x - 4 ) ∴ 3 ( x + 4 ) = 5 ( x - 4 ) = 3 x + 12 = 5 x - 20 2 x = 32 ∴ x = 16 kmn - 1 ∴ d = x ( x - 4 ) / 2 = 16 x 12 / 2 = 16 x 6 = 96 km answer : option d | null |
