Which proportion would be used to solve the following problem. The proportion of turtles to alligators at the reptile park is 5:9. Since Beth counted 45 turtles, how many alligators are there?

befor i go im trynna love you baby hopefully e

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

There are 81 Alligators.

The original equation was 5:9. Since the 5 turtles have been scaled up(multiplied by) 9 times. The rate for alligator will be multiplied by 9.

45 ÷ 5 = 9

9 x 9 = 81

5:9 x 9 = 45:81

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

in simplified version   it would be x ≤-4

step-by-step explanation:

multiply each term in x ≤-4 by -1
