1) first ratio (words per min)

Data:
words=420 words
time=8 minutes

ratio₁= number of words/ time (minutes)
ratio₁=420 words/ 8 minutes=52.5 words/ minute.

Answer₁: the first ratio will be: r₁=52.5 words/ minute. (52.5 words per minute)

2) Second ratio (time per words)
Data:
Time=8 minutes=8 minutes(60 seconds/1 minute)=480 seconds
number of words=420 words

Ratio₂=time/ words
Ratio₂=480 seconds/420 words≈1.14 seconds/word

Answer₂= ratio₂=1.14 seconds/word (1.14 seconds per word)

3)third ratio (words per hour)
Data:
time=8 minutes=8 minutes(1 hour/60 minutes)=2/15 hours≈0.133333... hours
number of words=420 words

ratio₃=number of words/ number of hours.
ratio₃=420 words/(2/15) hours=3150 words/hour.

Answer₃: ratio₃=3150 words/hour (3150 words per hour)

Priya's cat weighs 5 1/2 pounds and her dog weighs 8 1/4 pounds.

Lilit [14]

Answer: The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of Priya's cat = $5\frac{1}{2}\ pounds$

Now, $5\frac{1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}\ pounds$

The weight of her dog = $8\frac{1}{4}\ pounds$

$8\frac{1}{4}=\frac{33}{4}\ pounds$

Let cat is n times heavy as dog.

Then $n=\text{cat's weight}\div\text{dog's weight}$

$n=\frac{{11}{2}\div\frac{33}{4}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{11}{2}\times\frac{4}{33}\\\Rightarrow\ n=\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, The cat is 2/3 times as heavy as the dog.

Answer:

$m\angle 1 =105^\circ\\m\angle 2 =75^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is drawn and attached below.

From the diagram

$m\angle 2 =75^\circ $ (Alternate Angles)$

$m\angle 1+ m\angle 2 =180^\circ $ (Sum of angles on a straight line)\\m\angle 1+75^\circ =180^\circ\\m\angle 1 =180^\circ-75^\circ\\m\angle 1 =105^\circ$
