<em>Here is the complete question:</em>
The ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 4:5. There are 270 animals on the rescue farm. for each of the following statements, explain whether statements is true or false and why:
a. The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.

a,c and e are true statements.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dogs be "d' and number of cats be "c".
According to the question:
⇒ ...equation (i)
Arranging the ratio:
⇒
⇒
⇒ ...equation (ii)
Plugging (ii) in equation (i).

⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Number of dogs "d" = 120
Number of cats "c" = (270-120) = 150
Lets check each statement:
a.
The number of dogs is 4/5 the number of cats.
⇒
⇒
⇒
Statement is true.
b.
4/5 of the pets at the farm are dogs.
⇒
⇒
Number of dogs = 120
So the above statement is false.
c.
There are exactly 30 more cats than dogs.
⇒
⇒
Statement is true.
d.
There are exactly 30 dogs at the farm.
False, as there are 120 dogs
e.
