In The city of Erie there are 8 pet dogs to 5 pet cats if there are 1080 pet dogs, how many cats are there in town

900 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'c' = # cats

8 = 1080

5         c

cross-multiply:

8c = 5400

c = 900

675

Step-by-step explanation:

I set up a proportion out of the ratio 8:5

8/5      1080/x

Then I solved

5·1080=8x

5400=8x

x=675

10x

step-by-step explanation:

the greatest common factor 30 and 20 is 10

5 is a common factor of 30 and 20 but 10 is also a factor and 10 is greater than 5 so 5 will definitely not be apart of our answer

now the most amount of x's you factor our is just 1 factor of 1

so 10x the gcf of the terms in the polynomial

no ,sorry if you needed it but you can ask and try to see if any one will anwser ,
