The ratio of cats to dogs is 3 : 7.
12 dogs escaped and the ratio is now 3 : 4.
Work out how many animals there were at the beginning.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of cats to dogs is 3:7.

12 dogs escaped and the ratio is now 3 : 4.

To find:

The total number of animal at the beginning.

Solution:

Let the number of cats and dogs at the beginning are 3x and 7x respectively.

12 dogs escaped. So, the remaining number of dogs is (7x-12).

New ratio of cats and dogs is 3:4.

[tex]\dfrac{3x}{7x-12}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]4(3x)=3(7x-12)[/tex]

[tex]12x=21x-36[/tex]

[tex]12x-21x=-36[/tex]

[tex]-9x=-36[/tex]

Divide both sides by -9.

[tex]\dfrac{-9x}{-9}=\dfrac{-36}{-9}[/tex]

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Now, the total number of animals at the beginning is

[tex]Total=3x+7x[/tex]

[tex]Total=10x[/tex]

[tex]Total=10(4)[/tex]

[tex]Total=40[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of animals at the beginning is 40.

These numbers are common multiples of ________.

6, 12, 18, 36

A) 2 and 4

B) 2 and 3

C) 3 and 4

D) 4 and 6

Answers

From this list, we can see that all the numbers are multiples of 2 and 3. So, the correct answer is option B) 2 and 3.

What are common multiples?

Common multiples are multiples that two or more numbers have in common. In other words, common multiples are numbers that are multiples of two or more given numbers.

To find the common multiples of 6, 12, 18, and 36, we can start by finding the prime factorization of each number:

6 = 2 x 3

12 = [tex]2^2[/tex] x 3

18 = 2 x [tex]3^2[/tex]

36 = [tex]2^2[/tex] x [tex]3^2[/tex]

To find the common multiples, we need to list the multiples of the largest number, which is 36, and check which ones are also multiples of the other numbers:

Multiples of 36: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, 324, 360, 396, ...

Therefore, From this list, we can see that all the numbers are multiples of 2 and 3. So, the correct answer is option B) 2 and 3.

tell me if the statement below is sometimes, always, or never true. justify your reasoning, (the Expressions x - 3 + y -3 represent the same value.)

Answers

Answer:

Sometimes true. It may be true at times if x or y equal each other, but if they do not equal each other it is not true

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two expressions:  x -3 and y  - 3

Here x and y are two different variables.

These expressions are equal, when the value of x and the value of y are equal.

x - 3 = y -3 if x = y.

Therefore, the two expressions have the same value in sometimes.

That is, when x = y, then the value of two expressions are the same.

Example.

If x = 2 and y = 2, then

x - 3 = y - 3

2 - 3 = 2 - 3

-1 = -1

If they have different values, for x =  2 and y = 3

x - 3 = y - 3

2 - 3 = 3 -3

-1 = 0

Which is not true.

Therefore, the answer is sometimes.
