A pet survey found that the ratio of dogs to cats is 2/5. Write and solve a proportion that shows the number of dogs

Irina18 [472]

So,

The ratio of dogs to cats:
$\frac{2}{5}$

The other proportion:
$\frac{x}{140}$

$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{140}$

5 times 28 is 140.

Multiply the fraction by the appropriate form of 1
$\frac{2}{5} * \frac{28}{28} = \frac{56}{140}$

There are 56 dogs when the number of cats is 140.

Answer:

Both Lindsay and Sharon are wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Lindsay was doing her problem, she put 100 on the bottom and 45 on the top, when it should have been the other way around.

Sharon would have been correct if she had used the right measuring unit. 2/5 of a milliliter should have been 2/5 of a liter.
