i own three dogs 5 cats 7 squirrels 8birds 10 lizards and 4 beetles I told my friends that my ratio of dogs+cats to my other pets is 8:37 but my friend says it is 8:29 Who is correct (if any) and if someone made a mistake what was the mistake

The friend is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of dogs+cats to the other pets is 29. However the ratio of dogs+cats to the total number of pets is 8:37. Which they didn’t ask for, and ask for the ratio of dogs+cats to other pets.

Your friend is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 dogs and 5 cats; that makes [8] pets. Now, add up the rest of your pets (excluding dogs and cats, of course).

7 (squirrels) + 8 (birds) + 10 (lizards) + 4 (beetles) = [29] pets

[8:29]

By the looks of it, the mistake made here was adding up everything when calculating the second part of the ratio, including the dogs and cats (this shouldn't have been done).

Hope this helps, and have a good one.

try soting them out first

step-by-step explanation:

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
