So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
For every 1 liter of bleach there are 9 liters of water in the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The ratio of bleach to water in a cleaning solution is 2 : 18
- That means for every 2 liters of bleach there is 18 liters of water
∵ There is 1 liter of bleach
- Let us use the ratio method
→ bleach : water
→ 2 : 18
→ 1 : x
- By using cross multiplication
∴ x × 2 = 1 × 18
∴ 2 x = 18
- Divide both sides by 2
∴ x = 9
∵ x represents the number of liters of the water in the solution
∴ The number of liters of the water in the solution is 9
For every 1 liter of bleach there are 9 liters of water in the solution
