The ratio of dogs to cats is 2 to 3. There are 15 pets total. How many dogs are there? How many cats are there?

1 answer:

6 0

So there are 2 dogs to every 3 cats (put into words)

in order to reach 15 total multiply both 2 and 3 by 3

2x3 = 6
3x3 = 9

so there are 6 dogs and 9 cats

The two triangles are similar.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar since each triangle is the same shape of right triangle but different sizes. To find x, write a proportion between two equal ratios of side lengths.

$\frac{28}{20}=\frac{4x+2}{3x}$

Solve by cross multiplying.

28(3x) = 20(4x+2)

84x = 80x + 40

4x = 40

x=10
