Hi!

These can be set up as systems of equations.

Let b = the number of birds, and let d = the number of dogs.

b + d = 21

2b + 4d = 76 (this is because birds have 2 legs and dogs have 4 legs.)

You can solve this using either elimination or substitution.

Answer:

d = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = 1/3 + d

~Find common denominators

5/6 = 2/6 + d

~Subtract 2/6 to both sides

3/6 = d

~Simplify

1/2 = d

Best of Luck!

Cassandra assigns values to some of the measures of triangle ABC. If angle A measures 30°, a = 6, and b = 18, which is true?

Anna [14]

Answer:

The triangle does not exist because sin(A)/a can not be equal to sin(B)/b

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

step 1

Find the measure of angle B

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{sin(A)}{a}=\frac{sin(B)}{b}$

we have

$A=30\°$

$sin(30\°)=1/2$

$a=6\ units$

$b=18\ units$

substitute

$\frac{(1/2)}{6}=\frac{sin(B)}{18}$

$\frac{1}{12}=\frac{sin(B)}{18}$

$sin(B)=\frac{18}{12}$

$sin(B)=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Remember that the value of sine can not be greater than 1

therefore

The triangle does not exist because sin(A)/a can not be equal to sin(B)/b

Choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form.

Gennadij [26K]

We are required to choose the fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form

The fraction that has not been reduced to simplest form is 19/38 and 10/18

1. 21 / 34 is in its simplest form

factors of 21 = 1, 7 and 21

factors of 34 = 1, 2, 17 and 34

No common factor of 21 and 34 except 1

2. 15/16

factors of 15 = 1, 3, 5, 15

Factors of 16 = 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16

No common factor of 15 and 16 except 1

3. 19/38

factors of 19 = 1, 19

factors of 38 = 1, 2, 19 and 38

divide both numerator and denominator by 19

So,

19 / 38 = 1/2

4. 10/18

factors of 10 = 1, 2, 5 and 10

factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18

So,

10/18

divide both numerator and denominator by 2

= 5/9
