Challenge: An 8 pound cat eats an average of 1/2 cup of dry food. Per pound, which type of animal eats more, cat or a dog? Explain your answer.

70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.

2 x 2.5 = 5 cups

Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.

By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.

Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 289 sociology and math textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 65 l
erica [24]

Answer:

Contradictrion

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation. If the total is 289, then that goes one the right side of the =. Sociology textbooks will be x. If there were 65 less than x, it will be 65-x. Lets set it up:

x + 65 -x =289

Then combine like terms.

65 = 289

There are no values of x that make the equation true. The input is a contradiction.

Replace x in the equation with 13 and solve:

Why do prices increase when demand for a product is high?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise. ... If there is a decrease in supply of goods and services while demand remains the same, prices tend to rise to a higher equilibrium price and a lower quantity of goods and services. The same inverse relationship holds for the demand for goods and services.
