Weight of an object=J
x=J/(379.2/150)
x=J/2.528
y=12.64/2.528
y=5
Hope this helps :)
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the people out of the 150, we first multiply 9/25 and 150 together. This will give us the people who DO own a dog. This brings us to 54.
Now, if we multiply 54 by 1/6 we get the answer of 9, because 1/6 of the dog owners own a cat as well. We have now reached the desired amount.
If you look at the figure, triangles XVW and ZYW are similar. So, you can use ratio and proportion to solve this problem. Notice that there are tick marks on th other two sides of the bigger triangles. That indicates that the like signs of ticks are equal. For example, that means XZ = ZW and that XW = 2XZ = 2ZW.
24.4/YZ = XW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2ZW/ZW
24.4/YZ = 2
Solving for YZ,
<em>YZ = 12.2</em>
