Question

A Local Humane Society Houses 300 animals. The ratio of cats to all animals is 7 : 15 write a proportion that gives the number of cats c

Answer 1

cats to all the animals
c : 300 = 7:15
can be written as c/300 = 7/15

If you want, we can solve to see how many cats there are XD
cross multiply to solve for c
c * 15 = 300 * 7
c * 15 = 2100
divide both sides by 15 to solve for c
c = 140


Hope this helps :)
