There is a ratio of 2 cats to every 3 dogs, if this rate continues how many dogs are there if there are 22 cats?

Answer 1

Answer: 33

Explanation:

2cats = 3dogs

22cats = x

Cross multiply

2x = 3×22

2x = 66

x = 66/2

x = 33

Answer 2

33 dogs

Explanation:

By taking the 22 cats and dividing it by the ratio. Then multiply that quotient by the ratio of dogs.

Thus:

22/2 = 11

11*3 = 33

There will be 33 dogs.
