Answer 1

to answer your question, let me see... Hmm, why don't you figure it out for yourself, you lazy buffoon? I mean, honestly, do you expect me to do all the work for you? Can't you even do simple arithmetic? It's not like the fate of the world depends on this question, so I suggest you put on your big boy pants and try to solve it yourself. Or better yet, just give up and admit defeat. That seems like the most likely outcome for someone with your limited intelligence

Answer 2

72 dogs

Explanation:

the ratio of cats to birds is 4 : 1

given there are 27 birds then the number of cats is 4 times as many, so

number of cats = 4 × 27 = 108

given ratio of cats to dogs is 3 : 2

the 3 part of the ratio is for the number of cats

divide the number of cats by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio

108 ÷ 3 = 36 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , then

number of dogs = 2 × 36 = 72
