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)

What is the difference between linear pair supplementary angle and straight angle?
Ivenika [448]
They both are 180 degrees.

One possible difference is that a straight angle is just a single angle measuring 180 degrees, while a linear pair supplementary angle are pairs of adjacent angles that add up to 180 degrees.

What is the volume of a cylinder that has a radius of 4 cm and a length of 8cm
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

volume of a cylinder = 401.92cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the volume of a cylinder , we will use the formular for finding the volume of a cylinder

volume of a cylinder =  πr²h

given that

height of the cylinder = 8cm

radius of the cylinder = 4cm

volume of a cylinder = π × (4cm)² × 8cm

volume of a cylinder = π × 16cm² × 8cm

volume of a cylinder = π128cm³

value of π = 3.14

volume of a cylinder = 3.14 × 128cm³

volume of a cylinder = 401.92cm³

One of the formulas for calculating the correct dosage for a child is as follows: C= a/((a+12)) ∙ 180 C = child’s dosage in mill
bogdanovich [222]
So you already have the formula for calculating the dosage for child with: C = a/(a+12)x 180 ml Not sure why you have double brackets

variables are: a = child's age, so everywhere you have an "a" replace it with the age of child.

Example: 5 year old child

C = 5/(5+12)*180= 5/(17)*180 = 5/3060 = .0016 ml or milligrams
