Answer:

Dogs: 44.44 Cats: 55.556

Step-by-step explanation:

*this is <em>only </em>if you are allowed to use a calculator*

1. You have to add the total of the cats and dogs

Why? Here, let me put it this way. You have a test with two sections: math and science. If there are 2 Maths Questions and 2 Science questions, what percent of the test are math questions? You would not say 2/2 and say 100. You would say 2/4 because it is obvious. You do the same in this case but it is not as noticeable because you are dealing with bigger numbers.

15 + 12 = <u>27</u>.

2. Solve

<u>a. </u>There are 15 dogs and 12 cats that makes up 27 pets total.

So you have to do 12/27 for cats,

15/27 for dogs. The fractions equal one and It shows you how much of one is there compared to the total.

<u>b. </u><u><em>Simplify</em></u>

You can simplify these fractions:

for 12/27, divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

You get 4/9

Divide 15/27 for dogs by 3 as well to get 5/9.

5+4 is 9, which means that I am doing the math correctly.

According to the calculator, 5/9 is 55.556, and 4/9 is 44.444

They should be accurate because there are more dogs than cats and the percentage for dogs are higher. Hence, this is correct.

Cats = 4/9 = 44.444%

Dogs = 5/9 = 55.556%

Hope this helps :)

= (sin^4 x + cos^4 x)(sin^4 x - cos^4 x)
= (sin^4 x + cos^4 x)(sin^2 x - cos^2x)(sin^2 x +cos^2 x)
=  (sin^4x + cos^4 x)( sin^2 x- cos^2 x)

Sorry I cant do 4 (d).
