An animal shelter had 28 puppies. If the puppies are 28℅ of the total dog and cat population, how many dogs and cats are in the

animal shelter?

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

If 28% of the population is 28, then we can set up this formula:

0.28 * x = 28

because 0.28 is 28% in decimal form.

When you solve for x,

x = 100

Lou wants to make a coffee mixture to sell. He is going to mix Sumatra coffee which costs $2.50 per pound with Columbian coffee

Scilla [17]

To answer this question you need to create 2 equations:
S+C=50
2.50S+3.75C=3.35*(50)
S=50-C -so now you can plug in S into the second equation
2.50*(50-C)+3.75C=167.5
Now you just need to solve this equation, the final answer will be 34 pounds of colombian coffee and 16 pounds of sumatra coffee

Does the table represent a linear function? Explain why or why not

OlgaM077 [116]

The table doesn't represent linear function

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify if the table represent a linear function or not.

<u>Linear Function </u>

A linear function is defined as a straight line with an x and y intercept and the same slope through the whole line.

Finding the slope of elements in the table:

x y

0 0

1 1

2 8

3 27

Slope= y/x

Slope = 0/0=0

slope = 1/1 = 1

slope = 8/2 = 2

slope = 27/3 = 9

The function represented is: y=x^3

Since the slope of points x and y in the table is not same, and its graph is not linear.

So, the table doesn't represent linear function

Bc has endpoints b(5 ,9) and c(-4, -3). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of bc

Alex73 [517]

We can find the midpoint of any line segment using the midpoint formula: M=(x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2). Essentially, the midpoint formula finds the average of two points. If we use B and the first point and C as the second, when we plug in our values we would have M=(5-4/2,9-5/2). This can be simplified to M=(1/2,4/2) or M=(1/2,2) which is the final answer.
