Use the table to answer the question.
Cats 5 _ _
Dogs 2 _ _
There are 2 dogs for every 5 cats at an animal shelter. Use this information to make a ratio table to determine how many dogs there would be if there were 15 cats.(2 points)

Dogs 2 4 6
To determine the number of dogs if there were 15 cats, let's set up a ratio table based on the given information:
Cats: 5 15
Dogs: 2 x
To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion by dividing the number of cats and dogs:
5/2 = 15/x
Now, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
5x = 2 * 15
5x = 30
x = 30/5
x = 6
Therefore, if there were 15 cats, there would be 6 dogs.
To make a ratio table, you need to determine the ratio between the number of dogs and the number of cats. From the given information, the ratio is 2 dogs for every 5 cats.
To determine how many dogs there would be if there were 15 cats, you can set up a proportion using the ratio.
The ratio of dogs to cats is 2:5 or 2/5. We can set up an equation to solve for the number of dogs (x) when there are 15 cats (y).
2/5 = x/15
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2 * 15 = 5 * x
30 = 5x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
30/5 = x
x = 6
Therefore, if there were 15 cats, there would be 6 dogs.
The completed ratio table would look like this:
Cats 5 15
Dogs 2 6
