The dog weighs 12 lbs.
The cat weighs 2/3 as much as the dog
- Divide 12 by 3
= 4
- Then multiply by 2
= 8
His cat weighs 8 pounds.
Answer:
(a) 2%
Step-by-step explanation:
A score of 60 is 2 standard deviations below the mean (80 -2·10 = 60). The empirical rule tells you that 95% of the distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 5% is split evenly between those that are more than 2 SD above the mean and those that are more than 2 SD below the mean.
That tells you the percentage who failed is about 2.5%. The best answer choice is 2%.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The empirical rule is a little bit sloppy, but it gets you in the ballpark. The actual percentage is closer to 2.275%.
the answers are clear if you use priority and equation rules.
- q=11
- u=2
- a=13
- l=8
- s=12
Answer:
x = 2, y = -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = 3
x - y = 3
Adding the 2 equations eliminates y:
3x = 6
x = 2.
Substitute for x in the first equation:
2(2) + y = 3
y = 3 - 4
y = -1.
Check the results by substitution in equation 2:
2 - (-1)
= 2 + 1 = 3 .
Checks OK.
