Answer:

<h2> 52 chickens</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given

we are told that the total number of animals is 169

the ratio of horses to chickens= 9:4

total ratio= 13

Required:

number of chickens

Applying part to all principle, let the number of chickens be x

4/13=x/169

cross multiply

4*169=13*x

divide both sides by 13

x=4*169/13

x=676/13

x=52

There are 52 chickens

Magan decides to research the relationship between the length in inches and the

GrogVix [38]

Based on the line of best fit, the length of this catfish can be predicted to be 38 inches.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Weight of catfish, x = 40 pounds.

A line of best fit is also referred to as a trend line and it can be defined as a statistical (analytical) tool that is used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there's any correlation between a data.

From the graph of the data, we have the following linear equation:

$y=\frac{1}{2} x+18$
