There are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.
<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>
It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.
We have:
An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.
Combine ratio dogs:ferrets:cats = 5:1:9
Let's suppose the number of ferrets is x then:
5x + x + 9x = 45
15x = 45
x = 3
Ferrets x = 3
Dogs = 5x = 5(3) = 15
Cats = 9x = 9(3) = 27
Thus, there are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

They have just halved 48
Instead as it says they should do 2 x 48 which is 96
As there are 96 halves within 48
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).
2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).
3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.
4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b
5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.
- 8=-16/9(-1) +b
- multiply -16/9 by -1 which is 16/9
- subtract from both sides for it to be 8-16/9 on the left side which is 6 2/9, and that is b
6. The complete equation is now y=-16/9x + 6 2/9
Answer: 2 19/24 hours was spent in practising.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the first hour, they practiced for 5/8 of an hour. During the second hour, they practiced for 2/3 of an hour. This means that the total time for which they practiced in the first 2 hours would be
5/8 + 2/3 = 31/24 hours
During the last two hours, they first practiced for 3/5 of an hour, took a 1/2 hour break and then practiced the rest of the time. This means that the rest of the time for which they practiced is
2 - (3/5 + 1/2) = 2 - 11/10 = 9/10
Therefore, the time they spent practicing in total would be
31/24 + 3/5 + 9/10 = 67/24 =
2 19/24 hours
