Answer:

2 more cages

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of guinea pigs means , 2 guinea pigs per cage

If the pet store has 8 cages how many more cages will the pet store need?

For 8 cages

1 cage = 2 guinea pigs

8 cages = x

Cross Multiply

x = 8 × 2 guinea pigs

x = 16 guinea pigs

The pet store has 20 guinea pigs

The amount of guinea pigs left

= 20 - 16

= 4 guinea pigs

2 guinea pigs = 1 cage

4 guinea pigs = x

Cross Multiply.

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2 cages

Therefore, the pet store needs 2 more cages

42/4 as a whole or mixed number and in simplified form
AlekseyPX

Answer:

10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

42/4 can be reduced by dividing numerator and denominator by 2:  21/2.

This is an improper fraction.  One way to obtain the equivalent mixed number would be to multiply numerator and denominator of 21/2 by 5, obtaining 105/10, which reuces to 10.5.

We could also divide 42 by 4 in the usual way, obtaining 10.5.
