Question 9230: The ratio of spaniels to poodles at the dog show was 5 to 7.If there were 35 spaniels at the dog show, how many poodles were there?(the possibilities are.........35, 49, 25, or none of these) Answer by askmemath(368) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the total number of dogs be = D
IF the ratio is 5:7 then the number of spaniels = 5/(5+7) x D = 35
So D = 84
Now the number of poodles = 7/(5+7) x 84 = 49
