Answer:
option D. x = 1 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio and proportion
<u> 4 </u> = <u> x </u>
5 2
X multiply:
5x = 4(2)
5x = 8
x = 8 / 5
x = 1 3/5
Dividing by 100 shifts each digits two paces because 100 has two zeros.
Each 0= a digit shifts to the right

This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!
Answer:
14 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/7 times 2 = 4.57
5 1/6 times 2 = 10.33
10.33 + 4.57 = 14.90
14.90 as a fraction is 14 9/10
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
x: number of cats
y: number of dogs
We write the system of equations:
x / y = 2/3
(1/4) x + (1/2) y = 48
Solving the system we have:
x = 48
y = 72
The total number of animals is:
x + y = 48 + 72 = 120
Answer:
The total number of animals in the pet store is:
120
