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

Answer:

(-1/3, 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 8y = 3

6x - 12y = -11

Let's solve the system by eliminating x. We need the coefficients of x to be additive inverses, so they will add to zero eliminating x. The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18. Let's multiply both sides of the first by 2 and both sides of the second equation by -3.

18x + 16y = 6

-18x + 36y = 33

The coefficients of x are 18 and -18, which add to zero. Now we add these two equations.

52y = 39

y = 39/52

y = 3/4

Now we substitute y with 3/4 in the first equation and solve for x.

9x + 8y = 3

9x + 8(3/4) = 3

9x + 6 = 3

9x = -3

x = -3/9

x = -1/3

Solution: (-1/3, 3/4)

Which equation and solution can be used to solve this problem? Twenty-two less than a number is twenty-four. q + 22 = 24: Subtra
kaheart [24]

Answer:

q-22=24. Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

22 less than a number, meaning 22 is subtracted FROM an unknown variable. Going by this you would add 22 on both sides, giving you an answer of 46.
