An animal shelter houses dogs, cats, and ferrets. There are 144 animals at the shelter. Of the animals, one fourth are dogs. Eight ninths of the remaining animals are cats. How many of the animals are ferrets?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 1/4 = 3/4 (remaining animals which are cats and ferrets)

1 - 8/9 = 1/9 (means 1/9 of the remaining animals are ferrets)

1/9 x 3/4 = 1/12 (means 1/12 of the animals are ferrets)

1/12 x 144 = 12 ferrets

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

all but the second one

step-by-step explanation:

cuz that one goes over 180
