In the question "An animal shelter has a ratio of dogs to cats that's 3:2. If there are 30 cats at the shelter, how many dogs are there" the correct answer is 45 (option D). To solve the problem, let the number of dogs be x, then dogs / cats = 3 / 2 = x / 30. i.e. 2x = 3(30) = 90. x = 90 / 2 = 45. Therefore, there are 45 dogs in the animal shelter.
An animal shelter has a ratio of dogs to cats that's 3:2. If there are 30 cats at the shelter, 45 dogs are there . 3/2 = x/30 , x= 30*3/2 =45
