a pet boarder keeps a dog to cat ratio of 5:2 is it a border has a room 98 animals and how many of them can be dogs

1 answer:

8 0

I'm not sure how the correct way to do this would be but if you have a ratio that is 5:2 think of it as having 5 groups of animals and 2 groups of animals.

Find the number by dividing the total amount of animals 98/7 = 14.

We know that there are 5 groups of cats, the ratio for 5 cats. 14 x 5 = 70.

The remainder is dogs, which has a ratio of 2:5. 14 x 2 = 28.

70 + 28 = 98.

What is the standard form of the linear function that passes

babunello [35]

standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-2}\implies \cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4})$

$\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2(y-1)=2\left( \cfrac{3}{2}(x-4) \right)}\implies 2y-2 = 3(x-4)\implies 2y-2=3x-12 \\\\\\ -3x+2y-2=-12\implies -3x+2y=-10\implies \stackrel{\times -1\textit{ to both sides}}{3x-2y=10}$

a wall is 2m at one end and 2.4m at the other end. the area of the wall is 26.4m squared. what is the length of the wall?

andrew11 [14]

Since the height is different on both ends, we can assume that the wall is a trapezoid. Knowing that, we can replace the measures we know in the formula and our onky variable is the length of the wall - we only need to isolate it. A= ((b+B)h)/2 26.4=((2+2.4)h)/2 52.8=4.4h h=12
