So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
39°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle adjacent to 115° in the lower triangle = 180° - 115° = 65°
angle on circle in lower triangle
= 180° - (65 + 76)° ← angle sum in triangle
= 180° - 141° = 39°
Angles on the circle subtended from the same arc are congruent, then
shaded angle = 39°
Answer:
8 centimeters.

Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
An entire amount is 100% of the amount.
50% is half of 100%, so 50% means the same as half.
Half of 62 is the same as 62/2 = 31
Answer: 31
