Pat helps run an animal shelte.The actual number of animals brought in during a particular month was 150. The percent error was 12%. If pat estimated on the high side (more than 150), how many animals did Pat think were brought to the shelter

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let us assume the number of animals that Pat miscalculated = x
The number of actual animals bought during a particular month = 150
Percentage of error that was made by Pat = 12%
Number of animals miscalculated by Pat can be written as
100x/12 = 150
100x = 150 * 12
x = 1800/100
   = 18
Then
The the number of animals that Pat thought were brought to the shelter = 150 + 18
                                                                                                                   = 168
So Pat miscalculated the number of animals that were brought to the shelter was 168.

How do the numerator and denominator of a fraction compare with the dividend and divisor of a division exxpression?

Answers

To compare two fractions, you must find the GCF.
As an example, if you were comparing 1/2 and 2, it can be turned into a fraction because 2 is the same as 2/1. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need more help.
They compare because the numerator is like part of a whole the denominator is the whole the dividend is the whole number and the divisor is the partial

Answers

We will divide 11÷4=2 3/4
so each of them wedd 2 3/4 rows
(3/4 means three quarters)
11 rows
4 kids
kid 1: will do rows: 1, 5, and 9
kid 2: will do rows: 2, 6, and 10
kid 3: will do rows: 3, 7, and 11
kid 4: will do rows: 4 and 8
11 divided by 4= 2.75

What do you call two ratios that have the same value

Answers

The ratios are called equivalent ratios, which have the same values.

What are ratios?

Comparing two amounts of the same units and determining the ratio tells us how much of one quantity is in the other. Two categories can be used to categorize ratios. Part to whole ratio is one, and part to part ratio is the other. The part-to-part ratio shows the relationship between two separate entities or groupings.

Given to name the  two ratios that have the same value,

The ratios are called   equivalent fractions,

Comparable to equivalent fractions are equivalent ratios. An equivalent ratio results from multiplying or dividing the antecedent (the first term) and the consequent (the second term) of a given ratio by a non-zero value.

for example, 1/3 is also written as  2/6, 3/9, and so on,

and each of them has a value equal to 1/3.

Hence the ratios are equivalent fractions.

Rose, Bette and Cindy equally shared 5 boxes of crayons. Write an equation to show how much each girl got. (each box of crayons had 12 crayons) PLZ HELP

Answers

Answer: 3x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of boxes of crayon = 5

The number of crayons in each box = 12

Then, the total number of crayons in 5 boxes =5*12=60

let x be the total number of crayons each girl got.

Rose, Bette and Cindy (three friends)equally shared the total crayons , then the equation to show how much each girl got:-

3x=60

Since there was five boxes of crayons and there was 3 crayons in each one, the would be 15 in total. (crayons) And there was three people, 15/3=5 crayons per person. 
Equation: 3x=15
x stands for the amount of crayons each person gets.

HELP ME FAST BECAUSE I AM TIMEDIf NTM is congruent to OUM, SP is congruent to SQ, S is the center of the circle, and OM = 18, find NT. Round the answer to the hundredths place.

Answers

we know that , in a circle radius perpendicular to chord will bisect the chord. 
OM=18, so OQ=QM=18/2=9.
 Given QU=8
from figure OQU is a right angled triangle , so OU^2=OQ^2 + QU^2
OU^2 = 9*9 + 8*8 = 81+72=153;
OU=sqrt(153) = 12.37 =13(approx);
From given statements of congruent NT and OU will also be congruent or identical. So, NT=OU=13

Which equation correctly shows how to determine the distance between the points (9, -2) and (6,3) on a coordinate grid?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = sqrt ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)......this is ur equation

(9,-2)....x1 = 9 and y1= -2

(6,3)....x2 = 6 and y2 = 3

d = sqrt ((6 - 9)^2 + (3 - (-2)^2)

d = sqrt ((-3^2) + (5^2))

d = sqrt (9 + 25)

d = sqrt (34)

d = 5.83

Answer:

5,83

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = 3-(-2) = 5

BC = 9 - 6 = 3

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2

AB^2 = 5^2 + 3^2

AB^2 = 25 + 9

AB^2 = 34

AB = sqrt(34)

AB = 5,83
