Answer:
The difference between successive terms is 10

Explanation:
To know the factor by which a certain pattern is increasing/decreasing, you need to subtract its successive terms.

If the subtraction gives you 10, this means that the pattern is increasing by 10

Examples:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, .....
20 - 10 = 10
30 - 20 = 10
40 - 30 = 10
50 - 40 = 10
The difference between each two successive terms is 10. This means that each time we add 10 to the number we have in order to get the next one.
Therefore, this pattern is increasing by 10

37, 47, 57 , .....
47 - 37 = 10
57 - 47 = 10
The difference between each two successive terms is 10. This means that each time we add 10 to the number we have in order to get the next one.
Therefore, the pattern is increasing by 10

Hope this helps :)

In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. Of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet.

Travka [436]

Answer:

This problem is incomplete, we do not know the fraction of the students that have a dog and also have a cat. Suppose we write the problem as:

"In Mrs.Hu's classroom, 4/5 of the students have a dog as a pet. X of the students who have a dog as a pet also have cat as a pet. If there are 45 students in her class, how many have both a dog and a cat as pets?"

Where X must be a positive number smaller than one, now we can solve it:

we know that in the class we have 45 students, and 4/5 of those students have dogs, so the number of students that have a dog as a pet is:

N = 45*(4/5) = 36

And we know that X of those 36 students also have a cat, so the number of students that have a dog and a cat is:

M = 36*X

now, we do not have, suppose that the value of X is 1/2 ("1/2 of the students who have a dog also have a cat")

M = 36*(1/2) = 18

So you can replace the value of X in the equation and find the number of students that have a dog and a cat as pets.
