An animal shelter has 90 animals. some are dogs and the rest are cats. there are 11 dogs for every four cats. how many cats are at the animal shelter? explain your reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that we are trying to solve is basically this one:

dogs + cats = 90

But there are too many unknowns.  We have only 1 equation, therefore, we can only have 1 unknown.  We are told that for every 11 dogs, there are 4 cats.  Let's figure out, then, the number of dogs per 1 cat.  We do this by dividing.

11/4 = 2.75  This means that for every 1 cat, there are 2.75 the number of dogs.  Now we have something we can work with.

cats: c

dogs: 2.75c

Check this so we know we are doing it right.  If we replace c with the number 4, and then multiply that by 2.75, we find that the number of dogs is 11 for every 4 cats.  So we can replace the dogs with 2.75c:

2.75c + c = 90 and

3.75c = 90 so

c = 24.  That means that there are 24 cats at the shelter (which is 24 too many, if you ask me).

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
