Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call the dog's original weight d and the cat's c.  according to the problem 1.2c=.9d

1.2c is the cat's weight increased by 20% and .9d is the dog's weight decreased by 10%  Now we just solve this with algebra for the dog's original weight.

1.2c=.9d

(1.2/.9)c = d

(4/3)c = d

Now, this tells us that the dog's original weight was 4/3 of the cat's.or  about 33.33% larger

It kinda looks like the question is then asking what the cat's current weight is  in comparison to the dog's original.  If that's the case we need just one more step.  We want the dog's original weight and the cat's current weight in terms of the same variable.  Well, we have that.  

Current cat = 1.2c or 6/5, since we have the other in fractional form.

original dog = (4/3)c  

Now, what do we multiply the first to get to the second?  Well, we need common denominators.  15 is the lcm of 3 and 5, so we'll use that.

6/5 = 18/15 and 4/3 = 20/15

Nowwe want to know what we have to multiply 18 by to get to 20.  some algebra will find that.

18x=20

x = 20/18

x = 10/9

that's about 1.11, so the dog's original weight is about 11% higher than the cat's current weight.  

Hopefully that's the answer it wanted, if not or if there is something you didn't understand let me know.

How to solve this problem?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Can not be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily notice that the limit is x tends to infinity, whereas x is not present in the given function, we are given (1 + 1/n). So we can not evaluate the given limit for x as parameter, we must have some function of x to solve this problem.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. the limit can not be determined.

IRINA_888 [86]

Change in the amount of water in the bathtub after -48.75 gallons. Negative sign means water get reduce by 48.75 gallons in bathtub.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that

A clogged bathtub drains at a constant rate.

The amount of water in the bathtub changes by –3.75 gallons in one hour.

Need to determine change in the amount of water in the bathtub after 13 hour.

Change in amount of water in bathtub in one hour = -3.75 gallons  

As given that clogged bathtub drains at a constant rate, so  

Change in amount of water in bathtub in 13 hours = 13 x Change in amount of water in bathtub in 1 hours

=> Change in amount of water in bathtub in 13 hours = 13 x ( -3.75 ) = -48.75 gallons

Hence change in the amount of water in the bathtub after -48.75 gallons. Negative sign means water get reduce by 48.75 gallons in bathtub.
