Question

at a pet store the ratio of cats to dogs sold was 2:1. if there were 16 cats that were sold how many dogs were sold?

Answer 1

Hello!

Since the ration is 2 cat for 1 dog that means that for every 2 cats sold 1 dog is sold

This just means that the amount of dogs sold is half the amount of cats sold

You can do 16/2 to get the answer of 8

The answer is 8

Hope this helps!
