At a shelter, 15% of dogs are puppies. There are 60 dogs at the shelter.How many are puppies?

Ostrovityanka [42]

It is important to look at all the information’s already given in the question. Those information’s will come in handy while solving the question.
Number of dogs in the shelter = 60
Percentage of puppies in the shelter = 15%
Then
Number of puppies in the shelter = (15/100) * 60
= 900/100
= 9
So there are a total of 9 puppies in the shelter. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. I am glad to have helped you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication of fractions is easiest operation. Simply multiple numerator to numerator and denominator to denominator. For example,

$\frac{x}{y} * \frac{a}{b }= \frac{x*a}{y*b}$

Addition and subtraction requires that we find a common demoninator.

For example,

$\frac{6}{4} + \frac{4}{3}$

The common denominator is 12. So I need to muliply each fraction to get the right denominator. 4*3 = 12.

$\frac{6}{4}*\frac{3}{3} + \frac{4}{3} \frac{4}{4} = \frac{18}{12}+\frac{16}{12}$

Then we add the numerators

$\frac{18+16}{12} = \frac{32}{12}$

Then we should reduce.

$\frac{16}{6} = \frac{8}{3}$

Division is a little trickier because we have to flip-flop the second term and then multiply. For example: $\frac{1}{10} \div \frac{5}{6} \rightarrow \frac{1}{10} * \frac{6}{5} = \frac{6}{50}$

8/f = 56/105 what is f?

svetlana [45]

8/15 = 56/105

This may be solved using proportion.
a/b = c/d
ad = bc where cross products are equal.

a = 8
b = f
c = 56
d = 105

ad = bc
8*105 = f*56
840 = 56f
840/56 = 56f/56
f = 15

56 ÷ 7 = 8
105 ÷ 7 = 15

Given ƒ(x) = 14x + 42, find x when ƒ(x) = 35. A) − 12 Eliminate B) −1 C) 1 D) 3

balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=14x+42$

$f(x)=35$

Given the information above, we can simply set up an equation so we can find the value of x.

$14x + 42 = 35$

Subtract 42 on both sides.

$14x=-7$

Divide 14 on both sides.

$x=-\frac{1}{2}$

So, the value of x is equal to -1/2 when f(x) is 35.

A storage container is rectangular and has a length of 15ft and a width of 4ft. It will hold 270 cubic feet of materials. What i

KonstantinChe [14]

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h.

In this case,

V = 270 cubic feet

l = 15 feet

w = 4 ft

h = ?

Plug our values into the volume formula.

270 cubic feet = 15 feet × 4 feet × h.

Simplify the right side

270 = 60 × h.

Divide each side by 60.

4.5 = h

The height is 4.5 feet.
