Sagot :

Ratios

At the beggining the ratio of cats to dogs is

[tex]\frac{12}{9}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

because ratio indicates a fraction (12 cats divided by 9 dogs)

After the adoption there were 11 cats and 8 dogs, then the ratio is

[tex]\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Since

[tex]\frac{4}{3}\ne\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

Answer: the ratio of cats to dog does not remain the same
