Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.
Answer:
Post office is true because 3/4 miles is 1320 yards and 3/8 is only 660 yards. So basically it will take A LONG TIME for him to get there at the library. But you know I am not always accurate /:
I think there's an image needed to answer this question?
I tried answering without, but you do need the image.
If the length is 40 and the width is 25, the ration of length:width is 40:25.
This can be simplified to 8:5
So the answer would be any drawing with the following dimensions:
1. length 8 ft and width 5 ft
2. length 16 ft and width 10 ft
3. length 24 ft and width 15 ft
4. length 32 ft and width 20 ft
5. length 40 ft and width 25 ft
It's most likely not the last 3 because the sizes are very big, but yeah a scale drawing maintains the same ratio so I assume one of the options for your answers is gonna be one of the answers from 1 - 4 above (5 is the given dimensions so I highly doubt that's the answer)
Answer:
y=mx+c
We have to find the value of m and c.
Let's substitute the value of x and y from the table.
When x=1, y=15,
15= m(1)+c
m +c= 15 ------(1)
Now substitute another set of x and y values.
When x=2, y=24,
24= m(2)+c
2m +c= 24
c= 24 -2m ------(2)
Let me rewrite the two equations so that it is clearer for you to see.
m + c= 15 -----(1)
c = 24 -2m -----(2)
subst. (2) into (1):
m+ 24-2m= 15
-m= 15-24 (bring constants to 1 side, m terms to the other)
-m= -9 (simplify)
m= 9 ( divide by -1 throughout)
subst. m=9 into (2):
c= 24 -2(9)
c= 24-18
c= 6
Thus, the equation is y=9x+6.
When the cat is 3 years old, x=3.
When x=3,
y= 9(3)+6
y= 33.
Hence, the cat is 33 years old in human years.
