Total length of the road = 6 3/4 miles.

Each markers are spaced at a distance = 1/8 of a mile.

Number of markers could be represented by following division problem:

Total length of the road ÷ each marker space =

<h3>a) 6 3/4 ÷ 1/8.</h3>

b) In order to solve it, we need to convert that fraction into improper fraction:

6 3/4 = 27/4

6 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 27/4 ÷ 1/8

We need to convert division sign into multiplication sign and flip the second fraction.

27/4 × 8/1

On simplifying, we get

27  × 2 = 54.

<h3>c) There would be total number of 54 markers of lengths (1/8) of a mile.</h3>

The ratio of dogs to cats in a shelter is 9:15.if the total number of cats and dogs is 96.how many dogs are there?
ch4aika [34]

There are 36 dogs in the shelter.

<h3>How to find the total number of dogs in the shelter?</h3>

The ratio of dogs to cats in the shelter is given as 9:15.

The total number of dogs and cats is given as 96.

Let the constant of proportionality be x.

The total number of dogs is 9x and the total number of cats is 15x.

This means that:

9x + 15x = 96

24x = 96

x = 4.

The total number of dogs in the shelter = 9 × 4

= 36

Therefore, we have found that there are 36 dogs in the shelter.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Cos θ  = -4/5

Tan θ = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Angle θ lies in the second quadrant, and sin θ =3/5.

cos θ = -4/5, -3/5, 3/5, 4/5

tan θ = -4/3, -3/4, 3/4, 4/3

==================================================

Since, the angle lies in second quadrant (negative x axis and positive y axis) we can deduce that cos θ is negative and tan θ is also negative.

If sin θ =3/5

cos \  \theta =\sqrt{1-sin^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5} )^2} =\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} } =\frac{4}{5}

∴ Cos θ = -4/5 ⇒ because θ lies in the second quadrant.

And

Tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ) = (3/5) / (-4/5) = -3/4.
