Let the number of cats be as x

Ratio = 3:5
3:5 = 21 : x
3/5 = 21/x
x= 21 * 5/3
x= 5* 7
= 35 cats..

X - the number of cats

The ratio of dogs to cats is 3:5, and there are 21 dogs.
\frac{21}{x}=\frac{3}{5} \\
3x=21 \times 5 \\
x=7 \times 5 \\
x=35

There are 35 cats in the pet store.

katrin [286]
Use the velocity formula and solve for time.v=d/t
t=d/v

Substitute your variables and solve.
65 mi/hr = 65 / 3600 mi/second
25 mi / ( 65/3600) = 1384.6 seconds

grin007 [14]
Linear Equation: 15m+10=w
15 pages written for every month for 5 months plus the 10 pages she has already written is equal to the total number of pages written in 5 months.
m= number months written. In this case, it is 5 months.
w= number of pages written in 5 months
15(5)+10=w
75+10=w
85 pages written=w
Carla will have written 85 pages in 5 months.

Answer:

  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
