Puppies = 4 feet
Parrots = 2 feet

15 heads = 15 animals

Assumed all Parrots,
15 x 2 = 30 feet

50 - 30 = 20
There are 20 extra feet which must belong to puppies' extra 2 feet each
20 ÷ 2 = 10

There are 10 puppies
15 - 10 = 5
There are 5 parrots

Check: 
10 x 4 + 5 x 2 = 50 feet (Correct)

inna [77]

Answer:

125 students attend.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the drama club made $500 (500 - 400 = 100)

divide 500 by 4 to find out how many students attend the play, and paid $4

500 ÷ 4 = 125

125 students attend.

Max was on vacation twice as long is Jared and half as long as Wesley. The boys were on vacation a total of three weeks. How man
nasty-shy [4]
To begin with, the question is asking for the answer in days, so let's change 3 weeks to days. There are 7 days in 1 week; 3 weeks times 7 days = 21 days.
21 total days of vacation.

Max + Jared + Wesley = 21 days
(Let's use the first letter of their name to represent their vacation time)

M + J + W = 21 [This is the equation we'll be coming back to]

Now, we can use the clues given in the question to have an equation for each variable/boy. 

Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared. We can interpret this as  M= 2J Max was on vacation only half as long as Wesley. We can interpret this as M = (1/2)W.

So far we have these three equations: M + J + W = 21M = 2J M = (1/2)W

To have an equation for each individual boy, we must rearrange the last two equations in the list.

First, M = 2J.
Divide both sides by 2
M/2 = 2J/2
(1/2)M = J

Second, <span>M = (1/2)W
Multiply both sides by 2
2M = W

New equations:
</span><span>M + J + W = 21 [From the old list]
</span>J = (1/2)W
W = 2M

Now we can substitute the last two equations into the first one. 
M + J + W = 21
M + (1/2)W + 2M = 21
[Combine Like Terms]
<span>(7/2)M = 21 
</span>
Then, solve for M (Max's vacation days):
Multiply both sides by 2/7
(\frac{2}{7})* (\frac{7}{2}m)= (\frac{2}{7})*(21)
M = 6

Now we know Max was on vacation for 6 days.

If Max was on vacation twice as long as Jared, that means Jared was on vacation HALF as long as Max.

So...
<span>J = (1/2)M 
J = (1/2) * 6
J = 3
Jared was on vacation for 3 days 
</span>
Wesley was on vacation twice as long as Max so...  W = 2M 
W= 2*6
W = 12
Wesley was on vacation for 12 days. 

Let's double check our answer:
M + J + W = 21 days<span>6 + 3 + 12 = 21   
The numbers work out so the math is correct. Hope this helps and makes sense!</span>

Choose all the fractions that are equivalent to1/7. (Click all that apply.)
Alchen [17]

Answer:

2/14, 4/28, 5/35, 7/70 or just 2/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/7 by 2, to get 2/14, or 2:14

And multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/7 by 3, to get 3/21, or 3:21. So 2:14 and 3:21 are two ratios that are equal to 1:7.
