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

9x=27
X=3

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

125i

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find

5^3i^9

This can be rewritten as;

5^3i^8\times i

5^3(i^2)^4\times i

Recall that; i^2=-1

5^3(-1)^4\times i

We evaluate now to obtain;

125(1)\times i=125i

Likurg_2 [28]
Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inchesCircumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches
Area of circle = π r² 
Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²
Circumference of a circle = 2 π r30 = 2 * 3.14 * rr = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches
Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²
254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²
