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)

The perimeter of a playing card is 30 centimeters. The area is 50 square centimeters. What are the dimensions of the playing car
Arlecino [84]

Step-by-step explanation:

We get two equations here. One for the area and one for the perimeter. The area gives us x×y=50. The perimeter, if we have a rectangle, x+y+x+y=30=2x+2y. For this to work we need to make a simple expression for x or y. Let's go with x here. 2x+2y=30 so x=15-y. if we fill that in the other equation we get (15-y)×y=50 (see picture). y=5 or y=10. If we fill in x×5=50 we get x=10 and vice versa. So the dimensions are 5 centimeters by 10 centimeters
