    This ratio is in a form of dogs:cats.

    The ratio given means there are 3 dogs for every 2 cats.

    You can rewrite it as 3 dogs:2 cats.

    If there are 30 cats, you would write the ratio as x dogs:30 cats.

    Since the same must be done to both sides, you must find how many times 2 was multiplied to get 30 then multiply dogs by that number.

    30 / 2 = 15

    3 • 15 = 45

    So if a shelter has 30 cats, then it has 45 dogs.

    This can be written in a ratio as 45:30, or 45 dogs:30 cats.
