Answer:

Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ratio is 5 to 4. Sum these up, obtaining 9. Then (5/9) of the whole represents the number of cats, and (4/9) of the whole represents the number of dogs.

Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and

number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28

As a check: 35 + 28 = 63.

Answer:

Cats: 35 Dogs: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how I do it.....5+4 =9 then you find out how many times 9 goes into 63, which is 7 times. Then you take 7 x 5=35 and thats for cats. Then 4 x 7=28. So your answer is 35 cats and 28 dogs.

Hope this helps, and have a great day!
