Answer:

Let's set up an equation with x as the number of times 5 and 4 are being multiplied (remember that 5:4 is a ratio, we don't know how many dogs and cats there are, just that the ratio of dogs to cats is 5:4):

5x+4x=153

9x=153

x=17

4x=4⋅17=68

There are 85 dogs (5⋅17) and 68 cats (85:68=5:4)

Had 24 beads he divided them into four equal groups and gave one group to his sister how many beads did Lawrence have then
const2013 [10]

Answer:

If Lawrence has 24 beads and divided them into 4 groups you want to see how many he put into each group first

To do this we are going to take 24/4=6

Each group has 6 in it

If he gave one group to his sister, than he gave 6 beads to his sister

Now we want to take 6 away from 24 to find out how many he has left

24-6=18

He now has 18 beads

Hope this helps ;)

13) A school counselor asked a random sample of seventh- and eighth-
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A. The range of both data sets is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = the maximum value - the minimum value

✔️For the Seventh-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45

Minimum Value = 5

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

✔️✔️For the Eight-Grade Students' data set,

Maximum value = 45 (the value at the whisker to your far right)

Minimum Value = 5 (value indivl ated by the whisker on your far left)

Range = 45 - 5 = 40

Therefore, the two data sets can be described as having the same range of 40.

Which variable expression represents the word phrase? five decreased by the sum of a number and three A. 5 – (m – 3) B. (m + 3)
Slav-nsk [51]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. 5 – (m + 3)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

... Five decreased by ⇒ 5 - ___

... the sum of a number and three ⇒ (m+3)

So, the whole word phrase translates to ...

... 5 - (m+3) . . . . . matches selection C.

_____

"the sum of a number and 3" refers to the whole quantity (m+3), which is why we put it in parentheses. In English, the operative phrase is "five decreased by the sum", and the prepositional phrase "of a number and three" describes the content or nature of the sum.
