There are 16 cats and 14 dogs in a local animal shelter. Which phrase describes a ratio relationship between the two quantities?

the number of dogs in the shelter compared to the number of rabbits in the shelter

the number of dogs in the shelter compared to the number of cats in the shelter

the number of cats in the shelter compared to the number of cats in the shelter

the number of cats in the shelter compared to the number of dogs in the neighborhood

This is by far the easiest question ever...Can you actually read and put effort into it before looking up all your answers next time? It literally says there are 16 CATS and 14 DOGS in a SHELTER. Its not A, because it did not mention rabbits. Its not C because it did not mention too much about cats, and it said dogs and cats not cats and cats. And its not D because we aint talking about a neighborhood. So..it is B. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy!

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

a = 3.14

b = 18

c = 18/5 or 3.6 or 3 3/5
