The ratio of dogs to cats being treated at a veterinarian's office this week is 5 : 2. Suppose there are 168 dogs and cats sched

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

48 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

Am interesting factoid about ratios:

The ratio $a:b$ can be separated into fractional parts of $\frac{a}{a + b}$ and $\frac{b}{a + b}$ . We need to know the cat part. $\frac{2}{5 + 2} = \frac{2}{7}$ , so that is the fraction part. Then, we multiply this fraction by 168 to get the total number of cats. This number is 48.
