Respuesta :

first multiply 1000 x .72 to find out how many dogs are male this results and 720 with of which three out of five are over the age of 5 * 720 * 3 / 5 or 6 which results and 432

Answer:

number of male dogs over the age of 5 are 432.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are total dogs = 1000

72% are males = 72% × 1000

                        = 0.72 × 1000

Male dogs       =   720

3 out of 5 male dogs are over the age of 5.

Dogs over the age of 5 = [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of total number of male dogs.

=  [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] × 720

= 432 dogs

Therefore, number of male dogs over the age of 5 are 432.
