Answer:

Solution given;

let dogs be d and cats be c.

according to the question

3 d +5 c =$365........[1]

5d+3c=$491.............[2]

By doing elimination method

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3 and subtracting

we get

15d+25c=$365*5

15d+9c=$491*3

- - -

____________

;16c=$352

c= $\frac{352}{16}$ =$22

the cost of one cat is $22.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers they rode in the 3 bike trips they took last month. In order, they rode 45.7, 4

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

We are given number of miles the 3 bike trips they took last month = 45.7, 40.9, and 38 miles.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers.

Also one kilometer equals 0.621 miles.

From this we can see than 1 kilometer is smaller unit and a mile is a larger unit.

In order to convert number of miles into kilometers, we need to divide each number of mile by 0.621 miles.

We always divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller unit.

Therefore,

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully this helped, if not HMU and I will get u a better answer.

-Have a great day! :)

How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?

RUDIKE [14]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question and image is also attached below.

How much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg?

a. 2 ft

b. 4 ft

c. 8 ft

d. 10 ft

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔACB :

$(Hypotenuse)^2=(Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2$

$(AB)^2=(AC)^2+(BC)^2$

Given:

Side AC = 6 ft

Side BC = 8 ft

Now put all the values in the above expression, we get the value of side AB.

$(AB)^2=(6)^2+(8)^2$

$AB=\sqrt{(6)^2+(8)^2}$

$AB=10ft$

Now we have to calculate the how much longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.

Difference = Side AB - Side AC

Difference = 10 ft - 6 ft

Difference = 4 ft

Therefore, the 4 ft longer is the hypotenuse of the triangle than its shorter leg.
