an animal shelter has a ratio of dogs to cats test 3:2 if they are 30 cats at the shelter how many dogs are there

2 answers:

8 0

This ratio is in a form of dogs:cats.
The ratio given means there are 3 dogs for every 2 cats.
You can rewrite it as 3 dogs:2 cats.
If there are 30 cats, you would write the ratio as x dogs:30 cats.
Since the same must be done to both sides, you must find how many times 2 was multiplied to get 30 then multiply dogs by that number.
30 / 2 = 15
3 • 15 = 45
So if a shelter has 30 cats, then it has 45 dogs.
This can be written in a ratio as 45:30, or 45 dogs:30 cats.
