Answer:

48 Siamese cats were surveyed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of surveyed Siamese cats.

Since 5/8 of the Siamese cat said that they didn't mind having a lap up water from a bowl , hence:

Number of cats who lapped = (5/8)x

Also, 3/16 admitted they would have preferred to use a straw:

Number of cats who used straw = (3/16)x

Taking into consideration that 39 of the Siamese cats gave one of those two answers:

(5/8)x + (3/16)x = 39

(13 / 16)x = 39

x = 39 * 16 / 13

x = 48

48 Siamese cats were surveyed

2) Which statement is correct?
prohojiy [21]
Answer = a

Explanation- A cube is a 3D figure and each face would be a square since it is a cube. Since each side is a square all the sides are the same Width, Length, and height. Therefor you would be multiplying whatever number your have by itself 3 times because the formula would be Length x Width x Height

Write the equation 12 − y = 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? A. y=2x−17,m=2, y-intercept (0,−
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

12-y=2x-5

+5        +5  ( add 5 to both sides)

17-y=2x

-17    -17  (Subtract 17 to get y by itself)

-y=2x-17

divide by -1 because y cant be negative

y=-2x+17

m=-2 and y-intercept= 17

I hope thats right :)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (5,-4) and has a slope of 2.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Point slope formula: (y + 4) = 2(x - 5)

Slope intercept formula: y = 2x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope formula: (y + 4) = 2(x - 5)

Slope intercept formula: y = 2x + b, -4 = 10 + b, b = -14

y = 2x - 14

Latasha can read 30 pages of economics in an hour. She can also read 20 pages of sociology in an hour. She spends 4 hours per da
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Her opportunity cost of reading 10 pages of sociology is 15 pages of Economics

Her opportunity cost of reading 18 pages of economics is 12 pages of sociology.

Step-by-step explanation:

For economics, Latasha reads 1 page in 2 mins (gotten by dividing the number of pages by the time taken to read it i.e 30 pages in 1 hr or 60 mins)

Her sociology is read 1 page in 3 mins (20 pages read in 60 mins)

To read 10 pages of sociology will take 30 mins. She will read 15 pages of Economics in the same time which is the opportunity cost.

In the same vein, It will take her 36 mins to read 18 pages of Economics at the same rate. This is the opportunity cost of reading 12 pages of Sociology (which she reads at 1 page in 3 mins).
