I'm pretty sure it's 7 and 1/7
For this case we have the following conversion:
20 pounds = 9 kilograms
To use the table what we must do is find another relationship that allows us to find the weight in kilograms for 30 pounds.
For example, half the weight in pounds is half the weight in kilograms.
Therefore, the given conversion is:
10 pounds = 4.5 kilograms
So, for 30 pounds, we multiply this last ratio obtained by three on both sides:
30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms
Then, the table is:
Pounds 10 20 30
kilograms
4.5 9 13.5
Answer:
Using the ratio table the dogs weight is:
30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms
What is this supposed to be ?
Let the number of runs made on the home run be x, then for the <span>two 3-run home runs, we have 2x
Let the number of runs made in each hit be y, then for the 4 hits that each scored 2 runs, we have 4y.
Thus the algebraic expression to model the total score is 2x + 4y.
Because, there are 3 runs per home run, then x = 3 and because there are 2 runs per hit, then y = 2.
Therefore, the total score is given by 2(3) + 4(2) = 6 + 8 = 14.

To solve this system by substitution, we must substitute in the value we are given for x in terms of y (the first equation) into the second equation. This is modeled below:
x = -8y - 15
2x + 5y = -8
2 (-8y - 15) + 5y = -8
Now, we should solve this new equation for y. To begin, we should use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses on the left side of the equation and begin the simplification process.
-16y - 30 + 5y = -8
Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation by adding together the two terms that both contain the variable y.
-11y - 30 = -8
Next, we should add 30 to both sides in order to move all of the constant (number) terms to the left side of the equation.
-11y = 22
After that, we should divide both sides of the equation by -11 in order to get the variable y alone.
y = -2
Now, we can substitute our value for y back into one of our original equations (it doesn't matter which one you choose; they will yield the same answer).
x = -8y - 15
x = -8(-2) - 15
To simplify, we should following the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS and compute the multiplication and then the subtraction.
x = 16 - 15
x = 1
Therefore, the answer to the system is x = 1 and y = -2, or (1,-2) when written as an ordered pair.
Hope this helps!
