Answer:

15 puppies

Step-by-step explanation:

A pet store sells puppies and kittens in the ratio 5 : 4

As per the ratio, total puppies and kittens is 5+4= 9

If their sales of puppies and kittens combined came to 27

The ratio of puppies to the total is 5:9

LEt x be the puppies sold

RAtio of puppies sold to the total is x: 27

Now make a proportion using the ratio and solve for x

\frac{5}{9} =\frac{x}{27}

cross multiply it

135=9x

Divide both sides by 9

x=15

S, 15 puppies

So puppies will be 5x and Kittens 4 x so they combined will be 5x+4x=27
9x=27
X=3

What is 10n+2=7n+14
Orlov [11]

Answer:

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

10n + 2 = 7n + 14

Collect terms in n on the left side and numbers on the right side

Subtract 7n from both sides

3n + 2 = 14 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

3n = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 4

A cone has a diamete of 3 inches the cone hold 12 cubic inches of water to the nearet inch what is the height of the cone
Andre45 [30]

Volume for a cone is 1/3 pi * r^2*h, where r is radius and h is height. We have diameter = 1/2 radius. Thus, radius = 1.5in. We also have volume is 12 in. Using formula for volume of a cone and plugging in what we know, we have 12 = 1/3*pi*(1.5)^2*h, were solving for h. To get, h= (12*3)/(pi*(1.5)^2), which is approximately 5.0931in, 5 inches
