The ratio given says this - 3 puppies : 2 adults = 5 total dogs
You are given (?) puppies : (?) adults = 80 total dogs
In this case, you are trying to find the number of puppies, so you do not need to care about the number of adults. You need to compare the ratio with the actual amount.
Total/puppies = total/puppies
5/3 = 80/(?)
Now, cross multiply. 
5(?) = 240
Divide both sides by 5 and you get your answer.
(?) = 48

Bruce wants to make 50 ml of an alcohol solution with a 12% concentration. He has a 10% alcohol solution and a 15% alcohol solut
Daniel [21]
B
Here, x is the volume of the 10ml solution. Multiplying it by its concentration gives the amount of alcohol in it. 50 is the total volume of the 12% solution so (50 - x) gives the volume of the 15% solution. Multiplying this by the concentration gives the amount of alcohol in it. The sum of these amounts of alcohols is equivalent to the amount of alcohol in the 12% solution which is given by the product of its volume and concentration.

Graph a line with a slope of -2/5 that contains the point (-3,5)
kotykmax [81]

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

y=mx+b

Given

m=-\frac{2}{5}

Putting the value of slope in the equation

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}

Putting the values of b and m

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.

Write an equivalent expression for n x a using only addition
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Equivalent expression for n x a  = a+ a+a+a....n times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Expression for n x a .

To find : Write an equivalent expression for n x a using only addition.

Solution : We have given that n x a .

Here, we can say Sum of  a is n times.

We can rewrite it n x a  = a+ a+a+a....n times.

Example : 3 x 2 = 2 +2+ 2.

                   6 = 6 ( true)

Therefore , equivalent expression for n x a  = a+ a+a+a....n times.
