Several students were asked to name the kinds of animals they saw in the past week at the park. Determine the ratio that compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen. Dogs 8 Cat 2 Fish 4 Lizard 2 Choices: 1:8 5:16 3:16 1:4

A. 1:8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that several students were asked to name the kinds of animals they saw in the past week at the park.

Dogs: 8

Cat: 2

Fish: 4

Lizard: 2

We are asked to find the ratio that compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen.

Let us find total number of animal by adding each type of animals as:

We can see that the students saw 2 cats, so ratio of cats to total animals would be .

Dividing 2 and 16 by 2, we will get:

Therefore, the ratio 1:8 compares the number of cats seen to the total number of animals seen and option A is the correct choice.

if gloria has "carry over" minutes, (that is, any minutes paid for but not used in a month can be applied to her payment for minutes in the next month,) her total usage for the three months is: total minutes = 320 + 243 + 489 = 1052 minutes number of 200 minute blocks = 1052/200 = 5 r52 (that is 5 with a remainder of 52) rounding up the number of 200 minute blocks gives her usage for the three months as 6 blocks. the cost for six blocks is 6 x $25 = $150 she also has 200 - 52 or 148 carry over minutes if gloria pays each month and unused minutes are lost, applying the rounding up procedure to each month gives: first month usage of 320 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 second month usage of 243 minutes rounds up to 2 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 2 x $25 = $50 third month usage of 489 minutes rounds up to 3 blocks of 200 minutes for a payment of 3 x $25 = $75 total payments for the three months are $50 + $50 + $75 = $175 get the plan with carry over minutes!
