If you're looking for the number of dogs (I'm assuming, you didn't specify), all you'd have to do is divide the number by two, then round down to find the number of dogs, then check your answer by adding that number and that number plus 5.
For example, yours would look like 125/6=62.5, and rounding down to 60.
Then check your answer by adding 60 and 65, the number of cats. 60+65=125.
There are 60 dogs inside the kennel.
Answer:
It's already it in it's simplest form. You can find the simplest form by dividing the fraction by two ( 4/8 for example, you can divide 4 by two, giving you 2, and divided 8 by two, giving you 4, which makes 2/4, and do it once more, giving you 1/2.
16.4 is the answer. How to get the answer and others like it is like this. The first number after the decimal is the tenth place signaled by this .1 (For the examples I will always put the "1" where the value I'm trying to show) the hundredth place is here .21, and the thousandth is here .321 , hope this helps.
Let the number of hours = x
Mine A is offering his services for an initial $90 in addition to $15 per hour.
So, Charges of A = 90 + 15x
Mine B is offering her services for an initial $30 in addition to $35 per hour.
so, Charges of B = 30 + 35x
The two mines charge the same amount of money when:
Charges of A = Charges of B
So,
solve for x
combine like terms
so, the two mines will charge the same amount of money when the number of hours = 3
