The total number of frogs in the pond is 28 and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

The ratio of salamanders to frogs in a pond was 5 to 7.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of frogs in the pond:

Step 1 - The arithmetic operations can be used in order to determine the total number of frogs in the pond.

Step 2 - According to the given data, the ratio of salamanders to frogs in a pond was 5 to 7, that is:

[tex]\rm \dfrac{Number \;of\;salamanders}{Number \; of \; frogs}=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

Step 3 - Also given that there were 20 salamanders in the pond. So, the total number of frogs in the pond is:

[tex]\rm \dfrac{20}{Number \; of \; frogs}=\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\rm \dfrac{20\times 7}{5}=Number \; of \; frogs[/tex]

So, the total number of frogs in the pond is 28.
