If the ratio of cats to dogs at the park is 1:4, and there were 12 dogs, we can calculate the number of cats by multiplying the number of dogs by the ratio of cats to dogs.

The ratio of cats to dogs is 1:4.
Therefore, for every 4 dogs, there is 1 cat.

To find the number of cats, we divide the number of dogs by the ratio of dogs per cat: 12 dogs / 4 dogs/cat = 3 cats.

Therefore, there were 3 cats at the park.

Yes, ratios can be thought of as fractions. In a ratio like 1:4, it can be interpreted as 1 part cat to 4 parts dog. This can also be represented as the fraction 1/4, where the numerator (1) represents the number of cats and the denominator (4) represents the number of dogs.
