Question

MARKING BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

140 dogs and cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of dogs to cats is  4:3  or, as a fraction, 4/3.

Set up a proportion with 60 in the denominator (where the cats are!).

$\frac{\text{dogs}}{\text{cats}}=\frac{d}{60}=\frac{4}{3}$

"Cross-multiply" (you may know this as the Means-Extremes property of proportions).

$3d=(60)(4)\\3d=240\\d=80$

There are 80 dogs.

Finally, 80 dogs + 60 cats = 140 dogs AND cats

Answer 2

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

dog : cat= 4 : 3

if there are 60 cats,

so, number of dogs = 4/3 × 60 = 80.

number of dogs AND cats = 80+60

= 140
