2 answers:
The shelter will have 20 cats. If the shelter has five dogs for every four cats,then every five dogs that are added into the shelter four cats will be added.
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
