Answer: The required ratio is,

$2:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of cats = 8,

Number of dogs = 20,

Thus, the ratio of cats and dogs = $\frac{\text{number of cats}}{\text{number of dogs}}$

$=\frac{8}{20}$

LCM(8, 20) = 4

$=\frac{8\div 4}{20\div 4}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The percentage error in the prediction = 10.20%

Step-by-step explanation:

A sports broadcaster predicts a basketball team will score 88 point me in the next game.

If the team has actually scored 98 points we have to find the percentage error in the broadcaster's prediction.

The deviation of the prediction from the actual value = 98 - 88 = 10.

The formula for finding error percentage = $\frac{deviation from actual value}{prediction}$

= $\frac{10}{98} \times 100$

= 10.20 %

The percentage error = 10.20%

The leading coefficient is the coefficient with a variable with the greatest exponent.The exponent is the number you would say "the power to". What I mean is let's say you have this number: $3^{2}$ . The exponent would be 2 in this equation because it's saying what power 3 is too. Therefore, 5 is the leading coefficient.
