local kennel has cats and dogs in the ratio of 5 : 10 . if there are 40 fewer cats than dogs , how many dogs are in the kennel ?
"lets work with the data given to us . we know that there ratio of cats to dogs is 5 : 10 or cats 5 dogs 10 we can write number of cats as 5 x and number of dogs as 10 x and we know that 10 x - 5 x = 40 ( therefore 5 x = 40 = > x = 8 ) then # of dogs = 10 x 8 = 80 answer is a"
multiply(40, const_3.0)
