There are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

Combine ratio dogs:ferrets:cats = 5:1:9

Let's suppose the number of ferrets is x then:

5x + x + 9x = 45

15x = 45

x = 3

Ferrets x = 3

Dogs = 5x = 5(3) = 15

Cats = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Thus, there are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

If a triangle has 3 side one is 12 one is 72 what is the last sude
harkovskaia [24]

this triangle has 3 sides one is 12, lets call this side a²

another side is 72, lets call this side c²

this triangle must follow Pythagoras therom if it is right angled, that is a²+b²=c²

where a and b are the two shorter sides and c is the longest side (called the hypotenuse) opposite the right angle

to find the last side you do 72² - 12² = 5040

but it is the square root of 5040 which is 70.99 (two decimal places) if you want it in decimal form, if you want it in surd form it is √5040

What are the prime factors of 625
kobusy [5.1K]
Let's see what we can get by dividing 625 by 5, as it ends with a 5:
625/5 = 125
So we have 5 as one of our factors. Let's divide again by 5:
125/5 = 25
Our current prime factors now are 5 and 5, but we aren't finished. Divide again by 5:
25/5 = 5
Now we know that the prime factorization of 625 is 5 * 5 * 5 * 5, which can also be shown as 5⁴.
