Answer:

Goats: 32

Cows: 24

Animals: 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a proportion, equivalent ratios, you can use the number of goats to find the total number of animals and then the number of cows:

\frac{goats}{animals}=\frac{4}{7}=\frac{32}{x}, where 'x' represents the total number of animals

Cross-multiply: 4x = (32)(7) or 4x = 224

Divide: 4x/4 = 224/4 or x = 56

Total number of animals = 56

Number of goats: 32

Number of cows: 56 - 32 = 24

Which property would allow you to use mental computation to simplify the problem 27 + 15 + 3 + 5? additive identity additive inv
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive Identity: If you add a real number to zero or add zero to a real number, then you get the same real number back.

Additive Inverse: When you add the same number but reversed sign, you get 0.

Commutative Property: a + b = b + a

Addition distributive property: a(b+ c) = ab + ac.

In this case, we use the commutative property:

27 + 15 + 3 + 5 = 27 + 3 + 15 + 5.

We know that 27 + 3 = 30 and 15 + 5 = 20, so we get 50 quickly using mental math.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1\frac{1}{2} or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Now we know it's a dilation.  So we can use any two points.  I chose V and V'.

V: (3,6)

V': (2,4)

So how we get from 6 to 4?

4(x)=6\\x=\frac{6}{4} \\x=1.5

You can tell it's 1.5 aswell because 4 times 1 is 4 and 4 times 0.5 is 2.  Add them to get 6.  

Therefore, the dilation factor is 1.5.

Find the value of x.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc degree measurement of the arc that is colored in orange is given as 254 degrees.

The remaining part is the part in green.

The green part plus the orange part should equal 360 degrees because that would make a full rotation around the circle.

360-254=106.

The green arc has measurement 106 degrees.

We can find x by computing half the difference of the arcs there.

That is,

x=\frac{1}{2}(254-106)

x=\frac{1}{2}(148)

x=74
