Answer:
5 animals in one hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios are fractions set equal to each other, like this:
[tex]\frac{x}{y} =\frac{x}{y}[/tex]
We have one side of the ratio:
[tex]\frac{35}{7}[/tex]
If we set 7 hours equal to 1 hour, we'll end up with:
[tex]\frac{35}{7}=\frac{?}{1}[/tex]
If we cross multiply we end up with:
35*1 = ?*7
or
35 = 7x
When we divide both sides:
5 = x
So the vet cared for 5 animals in one hour.
