Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the complex fraction $\frac{5}{6}$ over $1\frac{1}{4}$

We will rewrite the fraction

$\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{4}}$

or $\frac{5}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{4}$

To solve this fraction we will flip the second fraction and put the sign of multiplication.

= $\frac{5}{6}$ × $\frac{4}{5}$

= $\frac{20}{30}$

= $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer would be $\frac{2}{3}$ .

A survey was given asking whether people like dogs and/or cats. 153 said they like dogs 191 said they like cats 56 said they lik

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

There were 362 people surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A survey was given asking whether people like dogs and/or cats

# 153 said they like dogs

# 191 said they like cats

# 56 said they liked both cats and dogs

# 74 said they don't like cats or dogs

- We need to find how many people were surveyed

* Lets find the number of who likes dogs only and the number who

likes cats only

- The number who likes dog only (cats only) is the difference between

the number who likes dogs (cats) and the number who likes both

∴ The number who likes dogs only = 153 - 56 = 97

∴ The number who likes cats only = 191 - 56 = 135

- The total number of people were surveyed is the sum of the number

who likes cats only and who likes dogs only and who likes both and

who doesn't like both

∵ The number who doesn't like dogs or cats is 74

∴ The total number = 97 + 135 + 56 + 74 = 362

* There were 362 people surveyed

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$y = 6\cdot z$

$y$ - Number of times that Noah volunteered at pet shelter.

$z$ - Number of times that Keith volunteered at pet shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading the statement of the problem, the following variables are described below:

$x$ - Number of times that Jason volunteered at pet shelter.

$y$ - Number of times that Noah volunteered at pet shelter.

$z$ - Number of times that Keith volunteered at pet shelter.

The following two relations are presented herein:

Noah and Jason

$y = 3\cdot x$

Jason and Keith

$x = 2\cdot z$

The relationship between the number of times Noah and Keith volunteered is:

$y = 6\cdot z$
