Question

Larry runs 2.5 miles and sees a total of 12 dogs. If Larry runs for a total of 8 miles, approximately how many dogs will Larry see?

Answer 1

Larry sees 12 dogs per 2.5 miles.

Your trying to find out how many dogs Larry sees in 8 miles.

$\frac{2.5}{12} = \frac{8}{x}$

So you want to find x.

To go from 2.5 to 8, you have to multiply by 3.2

So do the same thing to the denominator; 12 × 3.2=38.4

Since there are 38.4 dogs, you have to round down because 0.4 dogs is no dog.

Larry sees 38 dogs in 8 miles.

Answer 2

Answer:

38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 8/2.5=3.2 What does this mean? Well, it means that (if the miles are porportional to the dogs) that means he will see 3.2 as many dogs. So, we have 12*3.2=38.4, or 38 if the homework is asking for a rounded number. Hope I helped!
