So what does 8 go into 56 and 56 must go into 105 and the answer that you got in 8 goes into 56 should be the same answer as you got 56 to go in 105
Okay, so total dogs are 49.
So we know if x=large dogs and y=small dogs, then x+y=49.
Next we are told that there are 36 MORE small dogs than large dogs. We can take that more meaning addition, and x being our value for large dogs. So y=x+36.
After that we now know what value we can plug in for y. So x+x+36=49.
We can then simplify it to 2x+36=49.
Subtracting the 36 from both sides, leaves you with 2x=13.
Followed by dividing both sides by 2, gives you x=6.5. Or 6.5 large dogs.
Now we can plug this into our formula for the small dogs (y=x+36) to give us y=6.5+36, which simplifies to y=42.5. Or 42.5 small dogs. Which is our answer.
We can double check it by adding the small and large dogs together, 6.5+42.5, which gives us 49, our total entries.
An equation typically has a slope. Since there is no equation given, I am assuming that 1/7 is the slope:)
1/7 simplified into decimal form is is 0.1428!
24 tenths is 2.4 so it is less than 2.5
