Here is the complete question:

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:

a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

b. 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

c. There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

d. There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

e. 5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

a,c and e are true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".

According to the question:

⇒ c+d=270 ...equation (i)

Arranging the ratio:

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{d}{c}$

⇒ 4c=5d

⇒ $c=(\frac{5}{4})d$ ...equation (ii)

Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒ c+d=270

⇒ $\frac{5}{4} d+d=270$

⇒ $\frac{5d+4d}{4} =270$

⇒ $9d=270\times 4$

⇒ $d=\frac{270\times 4}{9}$

⇒ d=120

Number of dogs "d" = 120

Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150

Lets check each statement:

The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 150$

⇒ $\frac{4\times 150}{5}$

⇒ 120

Statement is true.

4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.

⇒ $\frac{4}{5} \times 270$

⇒ 216

Number of dogs = 120

So the above statement is false.

There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.

⇒ c-d =30

⇒ 150-120=30

Statement is true.

There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.

False, as there are 120 dogs

5/9 of the pets at the farm are cats.

⇒ $\frac{5}{9} \times 270$

⇒ 150

Statement is true.

So,

Statement a,c and e are true as we could observe in the explanation.

Answer from: Quest

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

Answer from: Quest

the system of inequity is

$y\leq -x+4$

$3y> x$

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

$y-4=\frac{0-4}{4-0}(x-0)$

$y=-x+4$

the related equation of solid line is $y=-x+4$ .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

$y-0=\frac{0-1}{3-0}(x-0)$

$3y=x$

the related equation of dashed line is $3y=x$

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

$1=-0+4$

$1=4$

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be $\leq$ . the required inequality is

$y\leq -x+4$

similarly, check the second related equation.

$3(1)=0$

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is

$3y> x$

15 points write a system of inequalities to represent the shaded portion of the graph
