Answer:

10 5/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Tail= 1.5+2Kite

Kite+Tail=15.5

x+1.5+2x=15.5

3x=15.5-1.5

3x=14

x=14/3=4 2/3

Kite=4 2/3

Tail= 1.5+2(4 2/3)=10 5/6

Answer:

We know that the kite with the tail is 15 feet and 6 inches. While 6 inches is 0,50 foot, it's 15,5 feet. If the lenght of the kite is x, then:

15,5 = x + 1,5 + 2x

15,5 = 3x + 1,5     / - 1,5 (both sides)

14 = 3x             / : 3 (both sides)

x ≈ 4,66

The kite is approx .4,66 feet long. It means that the tail is about 15,5 - 4,66 = 10,84 feet long.

a veterinarian needs to know animals weight in kilograms. if 20 pounds is about 9 kilograms and a dog weights 30 pounds, use a r
ahrayia [7]

For this case we have the following conversion:

20 pounds = 9 kilograms

To use the table what we must do is find another relationship that allows us to find the weight in kilograms for 30 pounds.

For example, half the weight in pounds is half the weight in kilograms.

Therefore, the given conversion is:

10 pounds = 4.5 kilograms

So, for 30 pounds, we multiply this last ratio obtained by three on both sides:

30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms

Then, the table is:

Pounds 10 20 30

kilograms 4.5 9 13.5

Answer:

Using the ratio table the dogs weight is:

30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms
