Answer:
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is 5 to 4. Sum these up, obtaining 9. Then (5/9) of the whole represents the number of cats, and (4/9) of the whole represents the number of dogs.
Number of cats is (5/9)(63) = 35, and
number of dogs is (4/9)(63) = 28
As a check: 35 + 28 = 63.
If you are trying to find the area the answer would be 48
