If the number of dogs seen by the veterinarian is 40 then the number of cats seen by him will be equal to 16.
The ratio notion is used in mathematics when evaluating two or more numbers. It works as a comparison tool to demonstrate how big or small a particular number is. A ratio divides two quantities in order to compare them.
As per the data given in the question,
The ratio of cats to dogs seen by veterinarian = 2:5
Number of dogs seen by veterinarian = 40
Let the number of cats seen by him be x.
Then, the ratios will be,
C : D
2 : 5
x : 40
Use cross-multiplication to find the number of cats,
5x = 2 × 40
x = (2 × 40)/5
x = 2 × 8
x = 16

(2x^{2} - 5x + 3) - (-x^{2} + 4x - 5)
Answer:
3x^2 - 9x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify:
The expression can be rewritten has (2x^2 - 5x + 3) -1(-x^2 + 4x - 5)
After distributing the -1, the equation becomes:

Number of candy bars sold by girls altogether is 91
Given that The ratio of candy bars sold by Anna, Elisa and Tiara are 2 to 4 to 7
So ratio of candy bars sold by Anna, Elisa and Tiara = 2 : 4 : 7
Let the candy bars sold by Anna be 2a
Let the candy bars sold by Elisa be 4a
Let the candy bars sold by Tiara be 7a
Given that Elisa has sold 28 candy bars
Number of candy bars sold by Elisa = 28
4a = 28
a = 7
So we have found "a" as 7
Thus we get,
candy bars sold by Anna = 2a = 2(7) = 14
candy bars sold by Elisa = 4a = 4(7) = 28
candy bars sold by Tiara = 7a = 7(7) = 49
We have to find the number of candy bars sold by girls altogether
number of candy bars sold by girls altogether = candy bars sold by Anna + candy bars sold by Elisa + candy bars sold by Tiara
number of candy bars sold by girls altogether = 14 + 28 + 49 = 91
So altogether girls sold 91 candies
