Question

The ratio of people who have dogs to people who have cats is 4 to 2. If there are 40 people, how many have cats?

Answer 1

Answer:

13 people

Step-by-step explanation:

let ratio be 4x and 2x

4x+2x=40

6x=40

x=40/6

x=6.66

so,

2x=2×6.66

=13.33

approx 13

again

4x=4×6.66

=26.64

approx 27.
