Answer:

Bird food = 4*dog food

cat food  = 2 dog food

dog food = dog food

Total: bird food + cat food + dog food = 4+2 +1 = 600

dog food = 85.7 packages.

Number of dog food packages bought by Byron is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given number of bird food packages = b. Find the number of packages for the other animal foods.

Number of hamster food packages = b.

Number of dog food packages = 4b

Number of cat food packages = 1/2 of 4b = 2b

Total food packages = 600

⇒ b + b + 4b + 2b = 600

⇒ 8b = 600

⇒ b = 600/8 = 75

  • Step 2: Calculate the amount of dog food

∴ 4b = 4 × 75 = 300

An animal shelter needs to find homes for 40 dogs and 60 cats. If 15% of the dogs are female, and 25% of the cats are female, wh
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

21% of the animals are female

Step-by-step explanation:

In total:

There are 40 + 60 = 100 animals.

Female animals.

40 dogs. Of those, 15% are female. So 0.15*40 = 6.

60 cats. Of those, 25% are female. So 0.25*60 = 15.

21 female animals.

21/100 = 0.21 = 21%

21% of the animals are female

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small hat purchased, y represent the number of medium hat purchased and z represent the number of large hat purchased.

Since a total of 47 hats where purchased,  hence:

x + y + z = 47    (1)

Also, he spent a total of $302, hence:

5.5x + 6y + 7z = 302     (2)

He purchases three times as many medium hats as small hats, hence:

y = 3x

-x + 3y = 0    (3)

Represent equations 1, 2 and 3 in matrix form gives:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&1\\5.5&6&7\\-3&1&0\end{array}\right] ^{-1} \left[\begin{array}{c}47\\302\\0\end{array}\right] \\\\\\ \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}6\\18\\23\end{array}\right]

Therefore he purchases 6 small hats, 18 medium hats and 23 large hats

Colin drove 45 minutes to the airport. He arrived 90 minutes before his flight departed, and then he spent 70 minutes in the air
Mumz [18]

Answer: The numbers can be added in any order.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total time that Colin spent traveling from his house to the hotel the numbers can be added in any order because time is a scalar quantity. It cannot be negative.

A scalar quantity is the quantity which has only magnitude but not the directions. For example temperature (vector quantity), it can be both positive and negative but time cannot be negative, thus it is a scalar quantity.
