140 dogs and cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of dogs to cats is 4:3 or, as a fraction, 4/3.

Set up a proportion with 60 in the denominator (where the cats are!).

$\frac{\text{dogs}}{\text{cats}}=\frac{d}{60}=\frac{4}{3}$

"Cross-multiply" (you may know this as the Means-Extremes property of proportions).

$3d=(60)(4)\\3d=240\\d=80$

There are 80 dogs.

Finally, 80 dogs + 60 cats = 140 dogs AND cats
