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

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Selected theme park admission prices has the lower standard deviation.

Specific home stereo system's distribution is more spread out since the ratio between the standard deviation and the mean is greater compared to that of selected theme park admission prices.

specific home stereo system: 3.99/59=0.0676.

selected theme park admission prices: 4/1499=0.002668

0.0676>0.002668

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

m∠WZX = 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

diagonals bisect angles and opposite angles are congruent

therefore, ∠WXY ≅ ∠WZY

∠WZY must equal [360 - 2(68)] ÷ 2 which equals 112°

If ∠WXZ = 71° then so does ∠XZY

Which means that ∠WZX must equal 112-71 which is 41°
