Answer:

20 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion has to be setup to answer this

5/4 = 25/x

x represents the missing number of cats

This fraction represents the relationship amongst dogs and cats

----

To solve cross multiply

5x = 100

(let me down below if you need an explanation on how to cross multiply)

Divide both sides by 5 in order to get the variable by itself

100/5 = 20

x = 20

The shelter has 20 cats

What is the best result for h?

Kryger [21]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for "h" from the given the equation $S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$ , you need to:

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract $2\pi r^2$ to both sides of the equation.

Then you need to apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by $2\pi r$ .

Then:

$S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2-2\pi r^2\\\\S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-\frac{2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}=\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r}\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-r=h$
