Answer:
162 pups are on the beach
Step-by-step explanation:
9/20 of 360
The key word "of" tells us to multiply
Variable x = number of pups
9/20 × x/360
Cross multiply
9 × 360 = 20 × x
3,240 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20
162 = x
Check our work:
9/20 = 162/360
Cross multiply
9 × 360 = 20 × 162
3,240 = 3,240
Correct
