Answer:

20 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion has to be setup to answer this

5/4 = 25/x

x represents the missing number of cats

This fraction represents the relationship amongst dogs and cats

----

To solve cross multiply

5x = 100

(let me down below if you need an explanation on how to cross multiply)

Divide both sides by 5 in order to get the variable by itself

100/5 = 20

x = 20

The shelter has 20 cats

Is anyone good at geometry???
zhenek [66]
Hey there Smarty!

This would be considered to be a (acute angel) which in this case, we would have to make sure that this whole triangle would equal less than 270 because each angle would be less than 90°

If we add/multiply \boxed{(90+90+90) \ or \ (90*3) = 270}.

So, we would have to know that was ever this would all add up to be, this would have to be less than 270°

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\boxed{\boxed{(2.5+5) \\ \\ (2.5*2.5) \\ (2.5-2) \\ (2.5-1) \\}} \\ \\ this \ would \ be \ why \ I \ would \ say \\ that \ this \ would \ be \ the \ answer \end{array}\right]

I truly hope this helps, and also, it's kind of my 
 first time doing this I hope this would be helpful.
