Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
70 / 35 = 2
So the 70 pound dog weights double the weight of the 35 pound dog, so he will eat twice as much.
2 x 2.5 = 5 cups
Meaning he will eat 5 cups of dry dog food a day.
By the same logic a 140 pound dog would have to eat twice what a 70 pound dog eats, that is 10 cups of dry dog food a day, so 7 1/2 cups are not enough.
Challenge: per pound a dog eats more than a cat. Since you know a 140 pound dog eats 10 cups, you can dive 140 by 10, to find out that each cup feeds 14 pounds, so half a cup would be the amount of food to feed a 7 pound dog, meaning that a dog weighing 1 pound less than a 8 pound cat would need the same amount of food, so it eats more than a cat.
Answer:
y=2x+6 ; x+y=51
Step-by-step explanation:
assuming x is one number and y is the other -
one number (y) is 6 more (+6) than twice another (2x) -
using that knowledge we form an equation -
y=2x+6
the sum (x+y) is 51
using this knowledge we can make the equation -
x+y=51
now you have -
y=2x+6 or 2x-y=-6
x+y=51
using system of equations -
you add the equations -
3x=45
x=15
y=51-x => y=36
hope this helps!!
Equation - x = -3/10 + (10-1)
The original number is 9.3 because
x = -3/10 + (10-1)
x = -3/10 + 9
x = 9.3
