means for every 9 cows there are 2 horses

72/9 = 8

8 x 2 = 16

there are 16 horses

Answer: The required number of horses at the farm is 16.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that at a farm, the ratio of cows to horses was 9:2 and there were 72 cows at the farm.

We are to find the number of horses at the farm.

Let the number of cows and horses at the farm be 9x and 2x respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\textup{number of cows}=72\\\\\Rightarrow 9x=72\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{72}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=8.$

Therefore, the number of horses at the farm will be

$2x=2\times8=16.$

Thus, the required number of horses at the farm is 16.

mina [271]

Answer:

0.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure:

CF = 4000.2 miles, CE = 4000.01 miles

so FT = √CF² - CT², TE = √CE² - CT²

so FT = 40 miles, TE = 8.94 miles

so ½ × 4000.2 × 4000.01

xsin angle FCE = ½ × 4000 × 140 + 8.94

so sin angle FCE = 0.0122

so angle FCE = 0.7°

so m SB = 0.7°

Misty wishes to obtain 85 ounces of a 40% acid solution by combining a 72% acid solution with a 25% acid solution. How much of e

Y_Kistochka [10]

13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Total mass of acid required= 85 ounces

Let the mass of 72% acid be 'a'

Let the mass of 25% acid be 'b'

a + b = 85

b = 85-a

85(40/100) = a(72/100) + b(25/100)

85(2/5) = a(72/100) +(85- a) (25/100)

34 = (72a/100) + (2125/100) - (25a/100)

34 - (2125/100) = (72a + 25a) /100

(3400-2125)/100 = 97a /100

97a = 1275

a = 13.15 ounces

b = 85 - 13.14

b = 71.85 ounces

13.15 ounces of 72% acid and 71.85 ounces of 25% acid are needed

Factor completely 20x^3y + 30x^2y^2.

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

10x^2 y(2x + 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

20x^3 y + 30x^2 y^2.

Factor 10x^2y out of 20x^3y.

10x^2 y (2x) + 30x^2 y^2

Factor 10x^2y out of 30x^2y^2.

10x^2 y (2x) + 10x^2 y (3y)

Factor 10x^2y out of 10x^2 y (2x) + 10x^2 y (3y).

10x^2 y(2x + 3y)

you factor out 10x^2y from both side which you will then get 10x^2 y (2x) + 10x^2 y (3y) than you factor out 10x^2y again and get 10x^2 y(2x + 3y) your third option
