So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.

2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!

We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.

Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!

2 x 28 = 56.

So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.

The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.

Hope this helps!
If you're confused about anything leave me a reply and I'll try to explain the best that I can!

Allisa [31]

To find median . . . list the number in order from least to greatest

10 , 11, 12, 12 13, 15

Then cross of a number from each side until you get to the middle number or middle 2 numbers.
IF there are 2 numbers add them together and divide by 2

12 + 12 = 24
24 / 2 = 12

Your median is 12

To find mean (this is the same as average) add all the numbers to get a total.

10 + 11 + 12 + 12 + 13 + 15 = 73

Then count the number of items added . . .6

Take the total and divide by the items counted

73 / 6 = 12.1666

Your directions say to round to the nearest tenth place.

12.166 = 12.2

Distribute (2x+y) throughout (4x^2-2xy+y^2). You should get

8x^3-4x^2y+2xy^2+4x^2y-2xy^2+y^3

Simplify and collect like terms and you should get 8x^3+y^3

iDentify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-27, 120) and passes through the origin A. (x−27)2+(y+120)2=123 B. (

melomori [17]

The equation of a circle is given in the form $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$ , where

(a, b) is the centre of the circle
r = radius

We have the centre of the circle (-27, 120)
We can work out the radius by modelling the radius as the hypotenuse of a triangle as shown in the diagram below

$r^2=27^2+120^2$
$r^2 = 15129$

The equation of the circle is

$[x-(-27)]^2+[y-120]^2=15129$
$[x+27]^2+[y-120]^2=15129$

Correct answer: option number 4
