12 puppies to 36 kittens.
12:36
This can be simplified by dividing each number by 12.
12/12:36/12
1:3
The answer is 1:3.
Should be 11 if i did it correctly <span />
18.47Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to get rid of the decimals:
0.05<em>n</em> + 0.10<em>d</em> = 1.50
==> 5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em> = 150
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:
<em>n</em> + <em>d</em> = 21
==> -5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em> = -105
Add the two equations together:
(5<em>n</em> + 10<em>d</em>) + (-5<em>n</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 + (-105)
Notice that the terms containing <em>n</em> get eliminated and we can solve for <em>d</em> :
(5<em>n</em> - 5<em>n</em>) + (10<em>d</em> - 5<em>d</em>) = 150 - 105
5<em>d</em> = 45
<em>d</em> = 45/5 = 9
Plug this into either original equation to solve for <em>n</em>. Doing this with the first equation is easiest:
<em>n</em> + 9 = 21
<em>n</em> = 21 - 9 = 12
So Donna used 12 nickels and 9 dimes.
Ok, I'm not giving you the answer. Instead, I'm going to give you the way to solve it. Then, you can do it yourself, message it to me, and I will check it.
Do .11 x 25. Remember to add the decimal back in.
