Answer: There’s technically no answer to this question, unless you specify that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants. If the zoo has more than two types of animal then the ratio doesn’t help because there are unknown variables.

However, if we knew that the zoo only has monkeys and elephants, then:

E = number of elephants

M = number of monkeys

M=9E

M + E = 60

9E+E= 60

10E = 60

E = 6

There are 6 elephants (and 54 monkeys).

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

e = number of elephants

9 times as many monkeys as elephants

m = 9e

------------------------

60 animals all together

e + m = 60

e + 9e = 60

Combine like terms

10e = 60

Divide both sides by 10

e = 6

What is the range of possible sizes for side x? _ < x < _
qwelly [4]

Answer:

2.8 < x < 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem which states that for any triangle with sides a, b, and c:

a + b > c

b + c > a

c + a > b

Here, let's arbitrarily denote a as 4.1, b as 1.3, and c as x. So, let's plug these values into the 3 inequalities listed above:

a + b > c  ⇒  4.1 + 1.3 > x  ⇒  5.8 > x

b + c > a  ⇒  1.3 + x > 4.1  ⇒  x > 2.8

c + a > b  ⇒  x + 4.1 > 1.3  ⇒  x > -2.8

Look at the last two: clearly if x is greater than 2.8 (from the second one), then it will definitely be greater than -2.8 (from the third), so we can just disregard the last inequality.

Thus, the range of possible sizes for x are:

2.8 < x < 5.8

Answer:

A ≈ 75 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of the circle is calculated as

A = πr² ( r is the radius )

here r = 5 and using 3 for π , then

A = 3 × 5² = 3 × 25 = 75 in²
