The number of birds (b) in a park increases when the number of dogs in the park (d) decreases. Write the correct equation for this scenario, and solve for the number of birds when there are 10 dogs.

Dogs
40
50
birds
10
8
b = 4d; b = 40

b = 4d; b = 2.5

b = 400 over d; b= 4000

b = 400 over d b = 40
