Answer:

140 dogs and cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of dogs to cats is  4:3  or, as a fraction, 4/3.

Set up a proportion with 60 in the denominator (where the cats are!).

[tex]\frac{\text{dogs}}{\text{cats}}=\frac{d}{60}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

"Cross-multiply" (you may know this as the Means-Extremes property of proportions).

[tex]3d=(60)(4)\\3d=240\\d=80[/tex]

There are 80 dogs.

Finally, 80 dogs + 60 cats = 140 dogs AND cats
