6sheep or 8 cows can graze a field in 34 days. how long would 9 sheep and 5 cows take to graze the same field?

16 days would be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

6 sheep = 8 cows

1 sheep = (8/6) cows

9 sheep = (8*9)/6 cows

9 sheep = 12 cows

9 sheep + 5 cows = 12 cows + 5 cows

                             = 17 cows

Now 8 cows can gaze field in 34 days

        1 cow can gaze field in (34 * 8) days

        17 cows can gaze field in (34*8)/17 days = 16 days

So 9 sheep and 5 cows will take 16 days to graze the field.

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
