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 solution to y + 7 = -9 A. y = -16 B. y = -2 C. y = 2 D. y = 16
Helen [10]

Answer:

A. y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

What we do to one side of the equation we have to do to the other.

y + 7 = -9

We have to get y by itself so we have to get rid of the seven by doing the opposite of what it says

The opposite of addition is subtraction so we subtract 7 from both sides

y + 7 - 7 = -9 - 7

Solve

y + 0 = -16

Simplify

y = -16

The answer is A. y = -16

Hope this helps!

A store charges $2.10 for a medium bag of fruit slices. Assuming that the rate stays the same, how much should the store charge
melomori [17]
Hey there,

Your question states: <span>A store charges $2.10 for a medium bag of fruit slices. Assuming that the rate stays the same, how much should the store charge for a large bag of the slices?

So sense this is a medium bad of fruit slices, we would divide 2.10 by 2.

Your answer would be 1.5 Now, all we do is we add 2.10+1.5 and we get 3.15. The reason would be because sense we now know the price of the size of it being small, we just add that size on top of the medium size to get 3.15.

Hope this helps.
