(4 + 5) is greater than 3·4 + 5 by 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Value of (4 + 5) = 9
- Step 2: Value of 3·4 + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17 (as per BODMAS rule)
- Step 3: Find the difference between the two.
⇒ 17 - 9 = 8
Answer: There were 115 cats at the pet store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to use proportions:
Since the number of cats to dogs at the pet store was 5 to 8.
The proportion is cats / dogs = 5/8
For 184 dogs = x / 184
Where x is the number of cats:
5/8 = x/184
Solving for x:
5/8 (184) =x
115 =x
There were 115 cats at the pet store.
