Question

In the park, there are some cats and dogs. The number of cats’ feet is double the number of the dogs’ noses. The number of cats is how many times the number of dogs? Let x be the number of cats, and y be the number of dogs. Write the expression that will help you to solve the problem (expression here). The number of cats is what times the number of dogs.

Answer 1

2y=x

Explanation:

Normally, if there were the same amount of cats and dogs, the cats' feet would be quadruple the dogs' noses. But, the question states that it is double the dogs' noses. 2 x 2=4, so there are twice as many dogs as cats.
