Mikes pet shop: add the ratio: 7+ 3 = 10

Divide total animals by the sum:

300/10 = 30

The ratio of cats is 7

Total cats = 30 x 7 =210

Do the same for Pets R Us:

Ratio: 6 + 4 = 10

150/10 = 15

Cats = 15 x 6 = 90

Total cats = 210 + 90 =300

Total animals = 300 + 150 = 450

Fraction that are cats = 300/450 = 2/3

2/3 of the animals are cats
