Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of dogs

y ---> the number of cats

we know that

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5

so

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{5}

x=\frac{4}{5}y ----> equation A

That means ---> The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats

There are 270 animals on the rescue farm

so

x+y=270 ----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

\frac{4}{5}y+y=270

solve for y

\frac{9}{5}y=270

y=270(5)/9\\y=150\ cats

Find the value of x

x=\frac{4}{5}(150)=120\ dogs

<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>

a) The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats

The statement is true (see the explanation)

b) 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs

The statement is false

Because

(4/5)(270)=216 dogs

The number of dogs is 120 not 216 (see the explanation)

c)  There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs

The statement is true

Because, there are 150 cats and 120 dogs (see the explanation)

d) There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm

The statement is false

Because, there are 120 dogs in the farm (see the explanation)

e) 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats

The statement is true

Because

(5/9)270=150 cats

The number of cats is 150 (see the explanation)

how much wrapping paper would you need to cover a rectangular that is 18.25 inches by 12inches by 3 inches if you need 10% more
natita [175]

Answer: 681 square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the formula for the surface area:

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

Where:

w: width

l: length

h: height

Replacing with the values given:

A = (2x12x18.25) + (2x12x3)+(2x18.25x3)

A= 438+72+109.25

A=619.5 in2

Since it has to be 10% more than the surface.

619.5 x (10/100) = 61.95 in2

Adding that value to the surface area

619.5+61.95 = 681.45in2 = 681 in2
