cats are there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

594 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio be 6x : 5x.

According to Question,

5x = 495

=> x = 495 ÷ 5

=> x = 99

Hence, number of cats = 6×99 = 594

GIVEN :-

■ The ratio of cats to dogs is 6:5.

■ There are 495 dogs and cats in a certain barangay.

TO FIND :-

How many cats are there?

SOLUTION :-

6x + 5x = 495

By Eliminating Method,

$\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{495}{11}$

x = 45.

Cats = 6x = 6 × 45 = 270.

Dogs = 5x = 5 × 45 = 225.
