Question

An animal shelter has 34 dogs and 62 cats. Find the ratio of dogs to cats

Answer 1

17:31

Explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 34 : 62 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 34 and 62 is 2.

Divide both terms by 2.

34 ÷ 2 = 17

62 ÷ 2 = 31

Therefore:

34 : 62 = 17 : 31

Answer 2

17 : 31

Explanation:

`(34)/(62) =(17)/(31)`
