Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
If you set the equation up, it would be n + 5 = 41. If you subtract the 5 from both sides to get n by itself, you get n = 36.
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

Treat this like a slope formula. Y2-y1 divided by x2-x1.
Your y2 value is the second population
Y1= value of first population.
X2= second year they give
X1= first year they give.
