Question

In a pet store,the ratio of dogs to cats is 3 to 2. if there are 15 dogs, how many cats are there at the pet store? NEED HELP ASAP

Answer 1

since the ratio is 3:2, you can set up your equation like 3/2 = 15/x. then cross multiply and that will get you 30 = 3x and x will equal 10. this means that there are 10 cats and 15 dogs. hope that helps!

Answer 2

10 cats

Explanation:

dogs:cats = 3:2=15:x

3x=15.2

3x=30

x=10 cats
