If the ratio of cats to dogs is \( 2: 5 \), how many cats are there if there are 10 dogs? (1 point)

To find the number of cats when the ratio of cats to dogs is \(2:5\) and there are 10 dogs, we can set up a proportion. If we let the number of cats be \(C\), the ratio gives us: \[ \frac{C}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \] Cross-multiplying, we have: \[ 5C = 20 \] Dividing both sides by 5, we find: \[ C = 4 \] So, there are 4 cats when there are 10 dogs.
