The ratio of dogs to cats 7 to 2 Let’s look at the answers and cross out some of them
A seems valid, 7/2= 3.5
So B is wrong because 7 is the number of dogs not the number of total animals.
C is wrong because this is a ratio, and if the ratio is 7:2 then there could be 14:4 dogs and cats. 14 — 4 isn’t 5. We are not certain there are exactly this much dogs and this much cats.
D) For every 7 dogs there are 2 cats. 7/2 is dogs divided by cats, while 2/7 is cats divided by dogs
