So, the scale is on the map is 3/10 inch equals to an actual 7/8 miles, then how many inches are there in 1 mile?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
inches&miles\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{3}{10}&\frac{7}{8}\\\\
x&1
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{10}\quad }{x}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{8}\quad }{1}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{3}{10}\quad }{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{7}{8}\quad }{\frac{1}{1}}

\bf \cfrac{3}{10}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{7}{8}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1}\implies \cfrac{3}{10x}=\cfrac{7}{8}\implies 24=70x\implies \cfrac{24}{70}=x\implies \stackrel{inches}{\cfrac{12}{35}=x}

The ratio of dogs to cats at an animal shelter is 33 to 22. How many dogs are at the shelter if there is a total of 3030 animals
Elena-2011 [213]
D : c = 33 : 22
where d is the number of dogs and c is the number of cats;
and: d + c = 3030
33 c = 22 d  / : 11
3 c = 2 d
From the other equation: c = 3030 - d
3 * ( 3030 - d ) = 2 d
9090 - 3 d = 2 d
5 d = 9090
d = 9090 : 5
d = 1818
Answer: There are 1818 dogs in the shelter.
