Question

Ugh another story problem. Hate these!

Answer 1

At a pet show the ratio of dogs to cats is 4:3 if the number of cats is 45 find the number of dogs at the show?

Answer 2

story problems are generally more easier.

Answer 3

:/ not for me

Answer 4

its on you how you interpret.

Answer 5

dogs to cats is 4:3 so cats to dogs is 3:4

Knowing that you can just relate the ratios:\[\frac{3}{4}=\frac{45}{x}\]

Answer 6

let the common ratio be x.
so no. of dogs = 4x
no. of cats = 3x

now , it is given that no. of cats = 45 = 3x
find x.
find no. of dogs.

Answer 7

would it b 60?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

I guess you could skip the first step to get the same answer:\[\frac{4}{3}=\frac{x}{45}\]

Answer 10

Yes. 60.

Answer 11
