There are 7 dogs for every 2 cats at an animal shelter. Use this information to make a ratio table to determine how many dogs there would be if there were 4 cats.

Answer 1

To create a ratio table based on the information given (7 dogs for every 2 cats), we can start by determining the number of dogs corresponding to various numbers of cats, including 4 cats.

From the ratio, we have:

- For 2 cats, there are 7 dogs.
- For 4 cats, since 4 is double the number of cats in the first ratio (2 cats), we can simply double the number of dogs as well.

Here's how the ratio table looks:

| Cats | Dogs |
|------|------|
| 2 | 7 |
| 4 | 14 |

So, if there are 4 cats, there would be 14 dogs at the shelter.
