Having trouble answering this: An animal shelter has 104 cats and dogs. The ratio of cats to dogs is 5:3. How many cats are at the shelter? Thanks in advance!
5 : 3 means that there are 8 equal parts of the 104
And the number of cats is (5/8) of this.....so
(5/8) (104) =
520 / 8 =
260 / 4 =
130 / 2 =
65 cats
Phill, can you explain a little more, cause i don't understand this question.
