Question

the ratio of numbers of cats to the number of dogs owned by the children in a particular age group in a school is 5:4 there are 60 dogs how many cats do they have ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of cats be"5x"

Let the number of dogs be "4x"

Total number of dogs = 60

So, let's equate the value of dogs:-

5x=60

x= 60/5

x=12

therefore, the value of x is 12

Now put the value of x in number of cats

4x

4*12

48

Therefore, number of cats are 48.

Hence the number of cats and dogs are 48 and 60 respectively.
