y ---> the number of cats
we know that
The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5
so
----> equation A
That means ---> The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats
There are 270 animals on the rescue farm
so
----> equation B
Substitute equation A in equation B
solve for y
Find the value of x
<u><em>Verify each statement</em></u>
a) The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats
The statement is true (see the explanation)
b) 4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs
The statement is false
