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

How do you round off 639,121 to the nearest ten thousand?
maxonik [38]
You want to find the closest ten thousand that there is to 639,121.

So a ten thousand is basically anything that ends with four or more zeros.

For example:

530000 would be a ten thousand because it has four zeros at the end.

So you can see what the closest ten thousands are to 639,121 would be.

They would be:

630,000 and 640,000

Since they both have four zeros at the end.

Now you can just tell that 639,121 is closer to 640,000 because the digit in the thousands place, 9, is closer to 10 than 0.

Hope this helped :)

Determine whether each ordered pair is a solution of the system.
Stolb23 [73]

According to the system:

5 – 7x + 2y² = -10

1 – 5x – 2y = -22

______________

a) No ; (4, 6) is not a solution to the

system. This point does not touch either equation.

b) No ; (6, 4) is not a solution to the system. This point does not touch either equation.

Solutions:

( \frac{122 - 3 \sqrt{101}}{25}, \frac{ - 7 +3 \sqrt{101}}{10}) ≈ (3.674, 2.315) \\ ( \frac{122  +  3 \sqrt{101}}{25}, \frac{ - 7  - 3 \sqrt{101}}{10}) ≈ (6.086, -3.715)

x = ( 122 ∓ 3√101 ) / 25 ≈ 3.674 or 6.086

y = ( -7 ± 3√101 ) / 10 ≈ 2.315 or -3.715

Monica [59]

Answer:

1 : 4 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of diameters = a : b , then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of diameters = 1 : 2 : 3 , so

ratio of areas = 1² : 2² : 3² = 1 : 4 : 9
