Answer:

A) C. 7:16

B) second shelter

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given that the shelter has a ratio of cats to dogs that is 9:7 and only houses dogs and cats, then there are 7 dogs for every 7+9 = 16 total number of animals, that is, the ratio of dogs to total animals is 7:16.

B) A ratio of 6:5 means that there are 6 cats for every 5 dogs. If the second shelter has 18 (=6*3) cats, then it has 3*5 = 15 dogs. That is, 6:5 is equivalent to 18:15

The first shelter has 9 cats for every 7 dogs. If it has 18 (=9*2) cats, then it has 7*2 = 14 dogs. That is, 9:7 is equivalent to 18:14

Answer:

C 7/16

Shelter B has more dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Cats : dogs : total

9            7        9+7=16

dogs/ total

7/16

Part B

Cats : dogs : total

6            5        6+5=11

If they both have 18 cats

Shelter A

Cats : dogs : total

9            7        16

Multiply by 2

18         14        32

Shelter B

Cats : dogs : total

6            5        11

Multiply by 3

18          15       33

Shelter A has 14 dogs, Shelter B has 15 dogs

Shelter B has more dogs

Factorise each of the following algebraic expressions completely,
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term

= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)

The factors are - 1 and - 2

Use these factors to split the k- term

1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term

= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)

1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and

2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)

(b)

Given

2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term

= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)
