Answer:

189

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 16 ounces in a pound, so you would multiply 18*16 (288) and add 10(298) to get the weight of the dog in ounces. Then you would multiply 6*16(96) and add 3(99) to find the weight of the cat. You would then subtract the cat's weight (99) from the dog's weight (288) to get the difference (189).

Answer:

12.4375 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you break it down

18-6=12

If the number of ounces being subtracted is greater than the number of ounces in the weight that is being subtracted from, decrease the number of pounds by one and increase the number of ounces by 16 in the weight that is being subtracted from.

Subtract the ounces.

Subtract the pounds.

Emma is carpeting 2 perfectly square rooms.

ivolga24 [154]

She's wrong. If you have two squares, $S_1$ with side $s_1$ and $S_2$ with side $s_2$ , it's not true that the sum of their areas is equivalent to the area of a square $S_3$ with side $s_3=s_1+s_2$ .

So, there's no point in summing the two sides. Instead, you have to compute the areas of the two squares and then sum them up.

So, the area of the first square is $2.7^2$ , and the area of the second square is $3.3^2$ .

Add these two numbers and you'll get how many squared meters of carpet she'll need.

Answer:

264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of trout in the lake.

We have been given that a group of naturalists catch, tag and release 121 trout into a lake. The next day they catch and release 48 trout, of which 22 had been tagged.

Using proportions, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Total trouts}}{\text{Tagged trouts}}=\frac{48}{22}$
