The ratio of dogs to cats at the local shelter is 2 to 5. There are 20 dogs at
the shelter. What is the total number
of cats and dogs at the shelter?
A. 28
B. 50
C.
70
D. 8
Need

B 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1) 2/5 = 20/x  |  20/2 = 10 so x = 10  |  5 times x 10 =50

Option 2) dogs 2 to cats 5  |  2/5 = 20/x  |  .40 = 20/x  |  .40x = 20  |  x = 50

Option 3) you can look and see that 20 is 10 times more than 2 and therefore infer that x is 10 times more than 5 which is 50

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
