32lbs. You take 4 and multiply it by 8 which gives you 32, the dog weighs 32lbs, then you have 8 left over, the cat weighs 8lbs.

5x = 40 (if x represents the cat's weight, and 4x represents the dog's)
40/5= 8
so the cat weighs eight pounds. 
8 x 4 = 32
the dog weights thirty two pounds. 
since 32 + 8 = 40, it's correct!

This summer Paige's town will be hosting a series of 9 concerts. There are two types of seats at the concerts, which are priced
avanturin [10]

Answer:

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

x + y ≥ 5

29.50 × x + 43.00 × y ≤ 200

= 29.50x + 43y ≤ 200

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

If x and y represent the number of tickets Paige purchased for the 2 types of seats, Paige would like to attend at least 5 concerts.

The inequalities that models the situation above is given as:

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

x + y ≥ 5

Also from the question, we were told that: There are two types of seats at the concerts, which are priced at $29.50 and $43.00. Paige would like to attend at least 5 concerts and spend no more than $200.

The inequalities that models the situation above is given as:

29.50 × x + 43.00 × y ≤ 200

29.5x + 43y ≤ 200

Therefore, the system of inequalities that could Paige use to model this situation is:

x ≥ 0

y ≥ 0

x + y ≥ 5

29.50 × x + 43.00 × y ≤ 200

= 29.5x + 43y ≤ 200

Find the coordinates of P that partitions segment AB , where A (2,3) and B (14,9), so that AP:PB is a 1:2 ratio. Also, find the
Paladinen [302]

For Point P, you need to recognize that a 1:2 ratio means that AP will be 1/3 of AB and PB will be 2/3 of AB.

So you need to find the change in the x-values, 14-2 = 12, and then add 1/3 of that change to the x-value of A.

Then you need to find the change in the y-values, 9-3 = 6, and then add 1/3 of that change to the y-value of A.

For the bisector, that's another way to say you'll split AB into two even pieces.  For this, it's the same as what we just did, but you need to find 1/2 of the two respective changes (1/2 of the x-change and 1/2 the y-change).

She gave 1/3 of cookies for her husband 1/4 of the cookies to her son and 1/6 of a cookies to her neighbor she ate the remaining
beks73 [17]

She made 15 cookies

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of cookies she made

She gave 1/3 of cookies for her husband

Therefore,

Husband = \frac{1}{3}x

Find the remaining

Remaining = x - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{3x-x}{3} = \frac{2x}{3}

1/4 of the cookies to her son

Therefore,

son = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2x}{3} = \frac{x}{6}

Now again find the remaining

Remaining = \frac{2x}{3} - \frac{x}{6} = \frac{x}{2}

1/6 of a cookies to her neighbor

Neighbor = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{12}

Now again find the remaining

Remaining = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{x}{12} = \frac{5x}{12}

She ate the remaining six cookies

Therefore,

\frac{5x}{12} = 6\\\\5x = 72\\\\x = 14.4

Thus she made approximately 15 cookies

Ms. Anastasopoulos has 30 students. 4/5 of the students have pets. OF the students who have pets, 2/3 of them have a dog as a pe
Lena [83]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

since 4/5 have a pet, you would divide by 5.

30÷5=6

but since only 4 have a pet, you would multiply that by 4 to get 4/5

6×4=24

24 students have pets

now you would divide by 3, as 2/3 have a dog

24÷3=8

but only 2/3 have dog, so you would multiply by 2

8×2=16

I'm sure there is a simpler way but this is how I would do it.
