here are 8 hamsters at Crazy Pete's Pet Shop that are completely brown. The rest of the hamsters at the shop are mixed colors. The 8 brown hamsters represent 25 2/5 of the total number of hamsters at the pet shop. Write and solve an equation, using the variable h, to find the total number of hamsters at the pet shop.

If the total number of hamsters is h, then h * 2/5 = 8. This means that h= 8 * 5/2 = 20 hamsters in total.
