Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cats

d = number of dogs

d = c+6

Set up a ratio:

4/3 = d/c

Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{c+6}{c}

Cross multiply

4c = 3(c+6)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.

4c = 3c + 18

Subtract 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 18

c = 18

d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20.  Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.

The dimensions of rectangle A are four times the dimensions of rectangle B. The area of rectangle B is 162 cm2. What is the area
Anna [14]

Answer:

2,592 square cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the dimensions of rectangle A are four times the dimensions of rectangle B.

Let dimensions of rectangle B are l×b.

So, the dimensions of rectangle A are 4l×4b.

Area of rectangle is

Area=length\times width

Area of rectangle B is

A_B=l\times w

The area of rectangle B is 162 square cm.

A_B=l\times w=162

Area of rectangle A is

A_A=4l\times 4w=16(l\times w)=16(162)=2592

Therefore, the area of rectangle A is 2,592 square cm.

A bird leaves its nest and travels 18 miles per hour downwind for x hours. On the return trip, the bird travels 3 miles per hour
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

distance down wind

d - 6 = distance back

time = distance ÷ speed

x = d/20

x = (d - 6)/(16)

so d/20 = (d - 6)/16. Cross multiply

20d - 120 = 16d

-120 = -4d

30 = d so the whole trip assuming the bird gets back to the starting point is 60 miles
