The answer is 20 not 5 or 15 or 10
Y=MX+C C=1 0=m(1)+1 m=-1 Y=-X+1
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.
Mr. Vella can build the wall in 4 days, however only works on it for 3 days. That means that he has completed 75% of the and is leaving 25% for his apprentice.
We need to figure out how long it takes the apprentice to build 25% of a wall. We know he can build 100% of a wall in 6 days, so dividing 6 days by 4 will give us our answer.
6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5 days
It took the apprentice 1.5 days to finish the wall.
Answer: 1 and 3
It's because they both divide down lower than 1
