75 Dragons

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio is 5 dragons and 4 knights.

Now, there are 60 knights, meaning the original number of knights (4), was multiplied by 15. So, if one side is multiplied by 15, the other side must follow the same rule. So, 15 x 5 = 75.

There are 75 Dragons.
