Answer:

1. So the porpotion should be 25/100 = x/120

You have this because you know that 25% of the dogs who go to ABC veterinarian need a rabies booster. So 100% of the dog should be 120 dogs, and now our job is to find how many dogs make up 25% percent of the total number.

According to our porpotion, we have:

(120 . 25)/100 = 30 (dogs)

Another way of understanding this is that you have to find 25% of the total amount, so just take that total number and multiply it with 25% or 25/100 which is 0.25 as well, that's why we multiply it with 25 first and then divide it to 100 later.

*I guess there is no need of explaining it

0.9 × 550 = 495

8% of a number is 20

Gnoma [55]

To find what the number is, we need to set up proportional fractions.
Currently, we have 8% of a number is 20.
To set up our fractions, put 100% under 8% as a fraction first.

It should look like this: 8/100 (hint: per-cent means per-hundred).

Now, we have 20 out of a number, x. This is because we are claiming that 20 is 8% of a number (if we just reword the question without changing the concept).
It should look like this: 20/x.

Our proportional fractions are:
20/x = 8/100.

To solve for this, we need to cross-multiply the denominator of 8/100 (bottom number, 100) with the numerator of 20/x (top number, 20).

This product equation should look like this:
20 x 100 (when simplified, we get 2000).

Now, we need to cross multiply the numerator of 8/100 (top number, 8) with the denominator of 20/x (bottom number, x).

This product equation should look like this:
8x.

Now that we've cross-multiplied, set our two products as an equation.

8x = 2000.

To solve for x, divide both sides by 8 (remember, what you do to one side of an equation, you must do it to the other).

8x / 8 = x
2000 / 8 = 250.

x = 250

Your final answer is:

8% of 250 is 20.

I hope this helps!

YALL NEVER ANSWER AH POOP plz help

Answer:

The given point A (6,13) lies on the equation. True

The given point B(21,33) lies on the equation. True

The given point C (99, 137) lies on the equation. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is : $y =\frac{4}{3} x + 5$

Now,check the given equation for the given points.

1) A (6,13)

Substitute x = 6 in the given equation $y =\frac{4}{3} x + 5$

$y =\frac{4}{3} (6) + 5 = 4(2) + 5 = 8 + 5 = 13$

⇒ y= 13

Hence, the given point A (6,13) lies on the equation.

2) B (21,33)

Substitute x = 21 in the given equation $y =\frac{4}{3} x + 5$

$y =\frac{4}{3} (21) + 5 = 4(7) + 5 = 28 + 5 = 33$

⇒ y = 33

Hence, the given point B(21,33) lies on the equation.

3) C (99, 137)

Substitute x = 99 in the given equation $y =\frac{4}{3} x + 5$

$y =\frac{4}{3} (99) + 5 = 4(33) + 5 = 132 + 5 = 137$

⇒ y = 137

Hence, the given point C (99, 137) lies on the equation.

PLEASE HELP step by step

Katen [24]

Answer:

The length of the line segment is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call the given two points: (x₁, y₁) = (2, -3) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, 5).

The distance between two points, d = $\sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2} }$

Here, $(x_1, y_1) = (2, -3)$ and

$(x_2, y_2) = (8, 5)$

Therefore, distance, d = $\sqrt{(8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2$

$= \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}$

$= \sqrt{36 + 64}$

$= \sqrt{100}$

= 10 units.

Hence, the answer.

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 5:3 . If there was 40 red cars , how many blue cars were there ?

Bas_tet [7]

The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
