You ask 150 people about their pets. The results show that 9/25 of the people own a dog. Of the people who own a dog. 1/6 of them also own a cat. How many people own a dog and a cat?

Respuesta :

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the people out of the 150, we first multiply 9/25 and 150 together. This will give us the people who DO own a dog. This brings us to 54.

Now, if we multiply 54 by 1/6 we get the answer of 9, because 1/6 of the dog owners own a cat as well. We have now reached the desired amount.
