Answer:

  1. Dogs: 18
  2. Cats: 15
  3. In total: 33

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Set up a proportion: [tex]\frac{6}{5} = \frac{x}{15}[/tex]  
  2. Cross multiply, then divide: 15 × 6 = 90, 90 ÷ 5 = 18
  3. So, there are 18 dogs in total.
  4. Add the dogs and cats together: 18 + 15 = 33

I hope this helps!
