Part A What is a theme of “Stray”?

Sometimes it is important to put emotions first.

Children should be willing to do what is needed for their family.

Parents should try to give their children want they want.

Every person has a certain role to play in his or her family.
Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from “Stray” best supports the answer to Part A?

“Her parents glanced at each other and went on eating.”

“‘I wouldn’t leave an ant in that place,’ he said. ‘So I brought the dog back.’”

“She smiled at them, but they continued to ignore her.”

“‘You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.’”

Part A: Parents should try to give their children what they want.

Part B: You know we can't afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.

Explanation:

I've read this story before and till this day, I still remember it. I enjoy watching it. The reason why I chose this is because it fits best. Doris really wanted to keep the stray pup but her parent's denied her request. But at the end, her dad brought the stray pup back. This is one of the main reasons why I chose the theme "Parent's should try to give their children what they want."

I hope this helps!

Explanation:

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )

hope i ! : )
