I will be happy to critique your thinking.
what ratio of the class members own a cat
To find the fraction of the class that has pet cats, you need to multiply the fraction of students who have pets (7/10) by the fraction of those students who own cats (4/7).
Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
Step 1: Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction:
7/10 * 4/7 = (7 * 4) / (10 * 7) = 28/70
Step 2: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, both the numerator and the denominator are multiples of 7, so we can divide them both by 7:
28/70 = (28 ÷ 7) / (70 ÷ 7) = 4/10
So, 4/10 of the class has pet cats.
