Question

The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats in the pet store is 6 to 4. There are 60 cats in the pet store. How many dogs are in the pet store?

Answer 1

40 dogs

Explanation:

If the ratio is 6 to 4, and there are 60 cats (6x10), then there should be 40 dogs (4x10). You want to multiply both by the same number (in this case 10) so that the ratio stays equal.
