a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

A pet survey found that the ratio of dogs to cats is 2/5. Write and solve a proportion that shows the number of dogs

Irina18 [472]

So,

The ratio of dogs to cats:
$\frac{2}{5}$

The other proportion:
$\frac{x}{140}$

$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{140}$

5 times 28 is 140.

Multiply the fraction by the appropriate form of 1
$\frac{2}{5} * \frac{28}{28} = \frac{56}{140}$

There are 56 dogs when the number of cats is 140.
