Please explain more I don't get whAt your asking
Ceb i think but im not exactly or totally sure
I think your answers are a b and c but I’m not exactly sure, sorryy:)
Set up a proportion to describe this relationship. So, for every 2 cats, there is five dogs. Therefore, “c” can represent your unknown quantity for every 35 animals.
2/5 = c/35
Cross multiply, multiplying the numerator/top number of the first fraction/ratio, by the denominator/bottom number in the second fraction/ratio.
2 • 35 = 70
Then, Cross multiply, multiplying the numerator/top number of the second fraction/ratio, by the denominator/bottom number in the first fraction/ratio.
C • 5 = 5c
So, now the problem shows both products as equal to each other.
70 = 5c
To solve for the variable, “c”, you must isolate the variable, by performing the opposite/inverse operation of multiplication, since that will undo the multiplication, for the variable to stand alone. Therefore, divide both sides of the equation by 5.
70/5 = 5c/5
14 = c
So, there is 14 cats out of 35 animals.
2y/9=5/9+4/9
2y/9=9/9
2y/9=1
2y=9
y=9/2
