The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of cats
 y: number of dogs
 We write the system of equations:
 x / y = 2/3
 (1/4) x + (1/2) y = 48
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 48
 y = 72
 The total number of animals is:
 x + y = 48 + 72 = 120
 Answer:
 
The total number of animals in the pet store is:
 
120

NeTakaya

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A family is trying to pick from different shades of paint for their living room. They have narrowed it down to 10 colors: 3 different blues and 7 different greens. The family decides to just randomly select a color from these. What is the probability they will pick a shade of blue? Choose the answer in percent form. Question 3 options: 50% 100% 70% 30%

First, we need to convert the probability of picking a blue shade into a fraction.

= 3/10

Since this is by 10, we need to times 0.3 (numerator) by 10 (the number of outcomes) Whatever you do to the numerator, you do to the denominator. This means that you also times 10 by 10

This gives you 30/100

Since a percentage is out of 100, you don't need to change anything, just take away the 100 and put a percentage sign.

=30%

The true statements about the triangles RST and DEF are: (a), (d) and (e)

<h3>How to determine the true statements?</h3>

The statement ΔRST ≅ ΔDEF means that the triangles RST and DEF are congruent.

This above implies that:

  • The triangles can be mapped onto each other by rigid transformations such as reflection, translation and rotation
  • The transformation does not include dilation
  • Corresponding sides are congruent

The above means that the possible true statements are: (a), (d) and (e)
