Question

There are 3 times as many dogs as cats.
If the total number of dogs and cats is 16, how many dogs are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 12 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

d= dogs              now plug in the 4 into your equation.

c= cats                  d=3(4)

d+c=16                   d=12

3c+c=16

4c=16                        SO THEREFORE THERE ARE 12 DOGS :)

c=4
