Step-by-step explanation: Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Answer:
<em>12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
The number of scoops of dog foods and the number of dogs are proportional variables.
We are given that 10 scoops of dog foods are used for 5 dogs. This gives a proportion of 10/5=2 scoops per dog.
We also know that 16 scoops are used for 8 dogs. The proportion is also 16/8=2 scoops per dog.
Thus, the constant of proportionality is 2.
For 6 dogs, you need to prepare 2*6 = 12 scoops of dog food.
12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,
2 consecutive numbers....x and x + 1
x(x + 1) = 182
x^2 + x = 182
x^2 + x - 182 = 0
(x - 13)(x + 14) = 0
x - 13 = 0
x = 13
x + 14 = 0
x = -14....not this one because it is negative
x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14
ur 2 numbers are : 13 and 14
If you round 5.066 to the nearest hundredth it would be 5.07
