D = 2C
J = 1/3D
J = C - 1

J = 1/3D
J = 1/3(2C)
J = 2/3C

2/3C = C - 1
2/3C - 3/3C = -1
-1/3C = -1
C = -1 * -3
C = 3...there are 3 cats

J = C - 1
J = 3 - 1
J = 2.....there are 2 collars

6. Order these fractions from least to<br> greatest:<br> 2/3<br> 7/12<br> 3/4
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

2/3 = 8/12

7/12 = 7/12

3/4 = 9/12

7/12 < 8/12 < 9/12

So, 7/12 < 2/3 < 3/4

(2a+b)^2÷(3b-1) when a= -2 and b=5
WINSTONCH [101]
Evaluate (2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) where a = -2 and b = 5:
(2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) = (5 - 2×2)^2/(3×5 - 1)

3×5 = 15:
(5 - 2×2)^2/(15 - 1)

 | 1 | 5
- | | 1
 | 1 | 4:
(5 - 2×2)^2/14

2 (-2) = -4:
(-4 + 5)^2/14

5 - 4 = 1:
1^2/14

1^2 = 1:

Answer: 1/14
