Answer:
Orinal number of cats= 171
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Decrease in population= 30%
Current population= 120
<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)
Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)
Orinal number of cats= 171
Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
she earned $1,000
she spent $250
250/1000 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25%
It would be B, 6.5 inches
Answer:
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
or in slope intercept
y= -3/4x-38/4
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:

Now that we have the slope, plug in the slope and choose one point to plug into the point slope formula. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.
(y--5)=-3/4(x--6)
y+5=-3/4(x+6)
y+5=-3/4x-18/4
y=-3/4x-18/4-20/4
y= -3/4x-38/4
