A random sample of cats at the local shelter shows 12 out 20 are kittens. If the shelter usually has 150 cats,
how many would you predict would be kittens?

90 kittens

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percent of cats that are kittens using the 12 out of 20.

12/20 = 0.6 = 60%

Now, find 60% of 150 cats.

150 • 0.6 = 90 kittens

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables

your answer is a
