Answer:
5.625
Step-by-step explanation:
So first do 112 / 360
Simplify it = 28 / 90 = 14 / 45
So 1.75 is 14 / 45 of the circumference.
The whole circumference is 1.75 * (45 / 14)
So the answer is 45 / 8 = 5.625
The equation used above is y-intercept form.
ex. y = mx + b
Whatever is in front of the x is your slope.
Your slope is -3
80 * 5/8 will give you how many are thoroughbreds.
80 * 5/8 = 50
Now subtract this from all of the horses.
80 - 50 = 30.
There are 30 quarter horses.
OR If 5/8 of the horses are thoroughbreds, then 3/8 are quarter horses.
80 * 3/8 = 30.
