Since we have 5 dogs to 3 cats, we can find a scale factor. Our new proportion is x:15.
To solve for this, we need to divide 15 by 3 to get our scale factor to find x.
15/3 = 5, so our scale factor is 5.
Multiply 5 dogs by 5 to get the new ratio.
Our new ratio is 25:15, meaning that we have 25 dogs total.
Your answer is 25 dogs.
I hope this helps!

15×5/3=25. As a result, I would have 25 dogs. Hope it help!

The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170". What is the measure of the

levacccp [35]

The measure of the largest exterior angle of hexagon is 105

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The measures of 5 of the Interior angles of a hexagon are: 115.125", 85", 150", and 170".

We have to find what is the measure of the largest exterior angle?

Now let us find the 6th interior angle,

We know that, sum of interior angles of hexagon = 720 degrees

115 + 125 + 85 + 150 + 170 + 6th angle = 720

645 + 6th angle = 720

6th angle = 720 – 645

6th angle = 75 degrees

Now we have to find the largest exterior angle, we know that, the complement of largest exterior angle will be smallest interior angle.

So, here smallest interior angle is 75

sum of interior and exterior angle equals to 180

Hence interior angle + exterior angle =180

Then, 75 + exterior angle = 180

Exterior angle = 180 – 75 = 105.

Hence, exterior angle is 105 and 1st option is correct.
