Answer:
8 Cats are at Kennel
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 20 dogs and cats at a kennel. If the ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats at the kennel is 3 to 2, how many cats are at the kennel?
Let say there are 3 X dogs
Then there will be 2X cats
( as ratio of the number of dogs to the number of cats is 3 : 2)
Total 3X + 2X = 5X
5X = 20
=> X = 4
Number of Cats = 2 * 4 = 8
