Paula's dog : Carolos' dog = 3 : 1

The total number of ratio units is 3+1 = 4, so each one stands for (48 lb)/4 = 12 lb.

Paula's dog weighs 3·12 lb = 36 lb.

Carlos' dog weighs 1·12 lb = 12 lb.

Answer:

$6:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $a$ be the length of the longer side of the smaller rectangle and $b$ be the length of the shorter side of the smaller rectangle

When you look at the combined rectangle from top to bottom, you can see that $3a=l$ . Therefore, $a=\frac{1}{3}l$

This is the same for $4b=l$ . Thus, $b=\frac{1}{4}l$

When you look from right to left, you can see that $w = 2b+a$ . Using this, we can represent $w$ in terms of $l$ .

$w=\frac{1}{2}l+\frac{1}{3}l\\\\w=\frac{5}{6}l$

Now, we can find the ratio of $l:w$ :

$l:\frac{5}{6}l\\\\1:\frac{5}{6}\\\\6:5$

What are the $x$ - and $y$ -intercepts of the equation $3x+4y=24$ ?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The x and the y-intercepts of the function are 8 and 6, respectively

<h3>Intercepts</h3>

The intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis

<h3>The function</h3>

The function is given as:

$3x + 4y = 24$

Set y to 0, to calculate the x-intercept

$3x + 4(0) = 24$

$3x = 24$

Divide both sides by 3

$x = 8$

Set x to 0, to calculate the y-intercept

$3(0) + 4y = 24$

$4y = 24$

Divide both sides by 4

$y = 6$

Hence, the x and the y-intercepts of the function are 8 and 6, respectively
