Cats to dogs means that the first number is cats and the second number is dogs. Thus, you have the ratios 2 cats to 5 dogs and 5 cats to 2 dogs which are different.

If they are both ratios of cats to dogs, with the ratio 2 to 5 it would mean there are 2.5x more dogs then there are cats, but with the ratio 5 to 2 it would mean there are 2.5x more cats than there are dogs, in which they are both different.

If mZDEC = (12x - 3), mZBCE =
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 3 = 180 - (7x - 26) supplementary angles

19x = 209

   x = 11

m∠DEC = 12(11) - 3 = 129°

m∠BCE = 7(11) - 26 = 51°

M∠ADE = 129 - 72 = 57°  exterior angle rule

m∠EDB = 180 - 57 = 123° supplementary angles

m∠DBC = 57° corresponding angle to ADE

How do you write 35 over 20 As a percentage
lara31 [8.8K]
In order to write \frac{35}{20} as a percentage, we must first convert the fraction into a decimal. We can do that simply by dividing.

35 / 20 = 1.75

In order to convert a fraction to a decimal, we must multiply it by 100

1.75 * 100 = 175%

\frac{35}{20} as a percentage is 175%.
Hope that helped =)
