Answer:
In a certain animal shelter, the ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 15 to 7. If 12 additional cats were to be taken in by the shelter, the ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats would be 15 to 11. How many dogs are in the shelter?
A. 15
B. 25
C. 30
D. 45
E. 60
Answer:
The method that is valid in finding the unit rate for a proportional relationship is by:
Look at the graph of the relationship. Count the number of units up and the number of units to the right one must move to arrive at the next point on the graph. Write these two numbers as a fraction. The unit rate is the slope, which is the rise over run.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle A is congruent to angle D.
A, D, and E are true
One X on the line plot marks one time something happened. So the two x’s above the 1 means that he practiced piano for one hour (see to the right that says hours next to the numbers, so 1=1 hour) two times.
45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, and is the mark right between 1/2 and 1. There is one x above this mark, so that means Thaddeus practiced for 45 minutes one time, so B is false
Thadeus practiced piano for 30 minutes two times, so C is false because he didn’t mostly practice for thirty minutes.
D is correct because there are 2 Xs above the 0, which means two times he practiced for zero hours, which means he didn’t practice at all.
E is correct because 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so it is the mark between 0 and 1/2. We see there are three x’s there, so that means he practiced for 15 minutes 3 times.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you want me to explain it differently.
