4/9 = x/63

9x = 252

x = 28

To find the number of dogs, we first need to determine the total number of pets in the park.

Let's assume the total number of pets in the park is x.

Given that the ratio of dogs to cats is 4 to 5, we can set up the following equation:

4/5 = 63/x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

4 * x = 5 * 63

4x = 315

x = 315/4

x = 78.75

Since we cannot have a fraction of a pet, we round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, there are 78 pets in the park.

To determine the number of dogs, we multiply the total number of pets in the park by the ratio of dogs to total pets:

Number of dogs = (4/9) * 78

Number of dogs = 4 * (78/9)

Number of dogs = 4 * 8.67

Number of dogs ≈ 34.68

Again, since we cannot have a fraction of a dog, we round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, there are 34 dogs in the park.
