The ratio of a dog and cat owners is four to 5 there are 48 dog owners how many cat owners

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dog owners and cat owners be 4x and 5x

4x = 48

x = 48/4

x = 12

Therefore 5x = 5×12

= 60

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.

the sum of two numbers is 3 3/4 if 1/3 of the larger number is 1/2 more than 2/3 of the smaller find the number

Agata [3.3K]

Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

Which shows the first step in the solution to the<br> equation log₂x + log₂(x - 6) = 4?

iren [92.7K]

log was used calculate big numbers before calculators

log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent

example

log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16

logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z

log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)

(log(x-6)x) = log(16)
