Answer:

Number of cats in the kennel = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c denote the number of cats and

d be the number of dogs

Given that the ratio of dogs to cats is 3 to 2

So,

d:c=3:2

Sum of ratio is 5.

And the total number of cats and dogs is 20.

So in order to find the number of cats, following formula will be used:

Numbr\ of\ cats=\frac{ratio\ of\ cats}{sum\ of\ ratio}*Total\ number\ of\ animals\\ =\frac{2}{5}*20\\ =2*4\\=8

So, there are 8 cats in the kennel ..

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

12+17+y+z or 29+y+z.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nigel is planning his training schedule for a marathon over a 4-day period. He is uncertain how many miles he will run on two days. One expression for the total miles he will run is 12+y+17+z.

The Commutative Property of Addition states that we can add numbers in any order. For example a and b be two numbers.

According to Commutative Property of Addition a+b=b+a.

Similarly, we can write an equivalent expression to our given expression as:

12+17+y+z

We can simplify our expression as:

29+y+z.

Therefore, our required expression would be 12+17+y+z or 29+y+z.

-4 ( 6 - 2n ) = 30 + 8n <br><br> Please help me
pogonyaev
N = no solution

-4 ( 6 - 2n ) = 30 + 8n
-24 + 8n = 30 + 8n
Subtract 8n from both sides
-24 = 30
This is invalid therefore no solution

Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks. The number of trees they chop down is given by b + 2 c + 3 j b+2c+3jb, plus, 2, c, plus, 3
ladessa [460]

Consider the complete question is "Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks. The number of trees they chop down is given by b+2c+3j, where b is the number of hours Ben spends chopping, c is the number of hours Cam spends chopping, and j is the number of hours Justin spends chopping. How many trees do they chop down after Ben spends 8 hours chopping, Cam spends 3 hours chopping, and Justin spends 4 hours chopping?"

Given:

Total number of trees chopped by them = b+2c+3j

b = number of hours Ben spends chopping = 8

c = number of hours Cam spends chopping = 3

j = number of hours Justin spends chopping = 4

To find:

The numerical value of total number of trees chopped by them.

Solution:

Total number of trees chopped by them = b+2c+3j

Put b=8, c=3 and j=4 in the given expression.

Total=8+2(3)+3(4)

Total=8+6+12

Total=26

Therefore, total number of trees chopped by them is 26.
