Answer:
12:3
Step-by-step explanation:
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
Answer:
y = 2/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
2x - 3y = 9
Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>
- Subtract 2x on both sides: -3y = 9 - 2x
- Divide both sides by -3: y = -3 + 2/3x
- Rewrite: y = 2/3x - 3
