If the ratio of cats to dogs in the veterinarian clinic is 2 to 3, which ratio does NOT show a possible number of cats to dogs in the clinic?
24 cats, 36 dogs

36 cats, 54 dogs

30 cats, 45 dogs

34 cats, 21 dogs

34 cats, 21 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

cats: dogs

2   : 3

Multiply by 12 to get 24 cats

2*12 = 24   3*12 = 36   so the first is correct

Multiply by 18 to get 36 cats

2*18 = 36 cats  3*18 = 54 dogs  so the second is correct

Multiply by 15 to get 30 cats

2*15 = 30   3*15 = 45   so the third is correct

Multiply by 17 to get 34 cats

2*17 = 34   3*17 = 51   so the fourth is incorrect

34 cats, 21 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

34 cats, 21 dogs

34 : 21 is not equivalent to 2 : 3

Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit.

1. Domestic private investment increases

2. Imports increase

When there is a period of economic growth, people generally have more income in the economy. Their consumption will increase and they will demand more foreign goods as well as domestic. This will lead to imports rising.

Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit.

1. Private saving increase.

2. Government borrowing decrease

With people earning more income, they will be able to save more of that income and because they are not buying with those savings, trade deficit drops.

The government would also not have to borrow as much to prop up the economy as the economy is also doing well. This means less need for foreign funds so a lower trade deficit ensues.

Not likely to occur during economic growth.

1. Imports decrease.

2. Government borrowing increases.

When there is economic growth, it is unusual to see that imports are decreasing.

Government would also not have to borrow as much as the economy is doing well on its own and does not need the government to pump money into it.
