There are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

<h3>What is the ratio?</h3>

It is described as the comparison of two quantities to determine how many times one obtains the other. The proportion can be expressed as a fraction or as a sign: between two integers.

We have:

An animal shelter had 45 animals adopted over one week. The ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.

Combine ratio dogs:ferrets:cats = 5:1:9

Let's suppose the number of ferrets is x then:

5x + x + 9x = 45

15x = 45

x = 3

Ferrets x = 3

Dogs = 5x = 5(3) = 15

Cats = 9x = 9(3) = 27

Thus, there are total 15 dogs, 27 cats, and 3 ferrets were adopted if the ratio of dogs to ferrets was 5:1. The ratio of cats to dogs was 9:5.
