To answer this item, we let x be the number of counters that Max has. By the representation, the number of counters that Jack has is 3x.
a. Ratio of counters,
3x:x
which can be simplified by dividing by x both sides of the ratio giving us the answer of,
3:1
b. Fraction of counters Max have,
fraction = x / (x + 3x) = 1/4
If we say that the weight of Jill's cat is w, then we can say that the weight of Jack's cat is 4w.
We know that the combined weight is 35 pounds, so we can write this as
4w+w=35
Which simplifies to
5w=35
If we divide by 5, we are left with
w=7
So that gives us the weight of Jill's cat. If Jack's cat weighs 4 times as much, we can see that
4x7=28
Therefore, Jack's cat weighs 28 pounds :)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write an integer expresion to represents the verbal expresion:
"the opposite of the absolute value of negative seven"
The absolute value of negative seven is written as:
When we simplify this, we get 7.
This integer is positive.
The opposite of positive seven is negative seven.
Therefore the required integer expresion for "the opposite of the absolute value of negative seven" is
