Answer:
D) 84
Step-by-step explanation:
To understand how many total animals you must figure out the ratio if there are 49 cats. The number of cats is the first part of the ratio. So, in the most simple form, when there are 7 cats there are 5 dogs. If there are 49 cats this means that there are 7 times more cats than in the simplest ratio. This must mean that there are 5 times more dogs. Therefore, the new ratio is 49:35. Then, add those numbers together to get 84 total animals.
