Let t kg be the weight of the tortoise, c kg be that of the cat, and d kg bethat of the dog.
t = (1/2)c
t/c = 1 : 2 ...... [1]
c = (1/4)d
c/d = 1/4
c : d = 1 : 4
c : d = 2 : 8 ...... [2]
From [1] and [2] :
(Weight of the tortoise) : (Weight of the cat) : (Weight of the dog)
= t : c : d
= 1 : 2 : 8
(b)(i)
Let k kg, 2k kg and 8k kg be the weights of the tortoise, cat and dogrespectively.
8k = 20
k = 2.5
The weight of the tortoise = k kg = 2.5kg
(b)(ii)
The total weight of the three pets
= (k + 2k + 8k) kg
= 11k kg
= 11 × 2.5 kg
= 27.5 kg

Let n be the number of books that Angie borrowed from Leslie.
(48 + n) : (72 - n) = 13 : 17
17 × (48 + n) = 13 × (72 - n)
816 + 17n = 936 - 13n
30n = 120
n = 4
The number of books that Angie borrowed from Leslie = 4

Let a, b and c be the number of $5-coins, $2-coins and 50¢-coins respectively.
5a : 2b : 0.5c = 35 : 24 : 11
5a/5 : 2b/2 : 0.5c/0.5 = 35/5 : 24/2 : 11/0.5
a : b : c = 7 : 12 : 22
Let 7k, 12k and 22k be the number of $5-coins, $2-coins and 50¢-coinsrespectively.
7k = 28
k = 4
The number of $2-coins
= 12 × 4
= 48
(b)
From (a), the numbers of $5-coins to $2-coins to 50¢-coins
= 7 : 12 : 22
