Number of dogs in the shelter are 12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given that total animals = 108 and number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108. Find number of ferrets in the shelter.

Number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108 = 1/3 × 108 = 36

Step 2:

Given that of the remaining animals, number of cats = 5/6. Find the remaining animals and the number of cats.

Remaining number of animals = 108 - 36 = 72

Number of cats = 5/6 of 72 = 5/6 × 72 = 60

Step 3:

Find number of dogs in the shelter.

Number of dogs = 108 - (36 + 60) = 108 - 96 = 12

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The are of a rectangle is 70m^2. Find the dimensions of the rec

igomit [66]

Answer:

The length is 7 m

The width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x - 4

length * width = area

It is given that the area is 70 $m^{2}$

From there

x * (2x - 4) = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x - 70 = 0

$x^{2}$ - 2x - 35 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation, which is a $x^{2}$ + bx + c = 0, where a $\neq$ 0

In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35

Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac

D = $-2^{2}$ - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0

This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x

Their formulas are $\frac{- b - \sqrt{D} }{2a}$ and $\frac{- b + \sqrt{D} }{2a}$

$x_{1}$ = $\frac{- (-2) - \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)

$x_{2}$ = $\frac{- (-2) + \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = 7 > 0 (this one is right)

Calculating the dimensions

length = x = 7 (m)

width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

240 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular solid is given by LxBxH.

This question has a $L=10$ , $B= 6$ and $H=4$ .

So the volume of a rectangular solid is $L\times B \times H =10\times 6 \times 4$

Volume $= 240$ cubic inches
