Number of adult dogs a kennel has = 8 dogs.

Number of puppies = 14 puppies.

<h3>We need to find the ratio of adult dogs to puppies = Number of adult dogs: Number of puppies.</h3><h3>= 8:14.</h3>

Now, we need to write 8:14 in fraction form \frac{8}{14} .

Greatest common factor of 8 and 14 is 2.

\frac{8}{14} = \frac{2\times 4}{2 \times 7}=\frac{4}{7}.

<h3>Therefore, ratio of  adult dogs to puppies is 4:7.</h3>

Let C ( t ) be the number of US cell phone subscribers in millions in t years since 1995. A linear model for the data is F ( t )
Andru [333]

ANSWER

In 16 years time.


EXPLANATION.



If the number of subscribers is 324 million, then it means


f(t)=324


But we were given that,


f(t)=18.997t+16.711



This implies that,


324=18.997t+16.711


We now solve for t,



324-16.711=18.997t



307.289=18.997t



\frac{307.289}{18.997}=t



16.17566=t



That will be approximately in the 16th year.

Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the t
harina [27]

Answer:

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal

As per the statement: Mrs. Hwang is taking her vehicle to the shop to have the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons. Now, it costs her $42.56 to fill the tank. Once the new tank is in, it will cost her $72.96

Let the tank size now be x

Since, the gas tank expanded by 10 gallons = x + 10

by definition of proportion ;

\frac{x}{42.56}=\frac{x+10}{72.96}

by cross multiply we get;

72.96x = 42.56(x+10)

using distributive property;a\cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b + a\cdot c

72.96x = 42.56x+425.6

Subtract 42.56x from both sides we get;

30.4x =425.6

Divide both sides by 30.4 we get;

x = 14

Therefore, the tank is her now is, 14 gallons
