Question

Sally’s dog boarding service currently has 2 Great Danes, 8 golden retrievers, 22 mastiffs, and 12 Doberman pinschers. What is that ratio of Doberman pinschers to the total number of dogs at Sally’s boarding service?

Answer 1

3/11

Explanation:

First, determine how many dogs are at the boarding service:

2+8+22+12 = 44

Then:

# of Dobermans 12

-------------------------- = ------- = 6/22 or 3/ 11

total # of dogs 44

The desired ratio is 3/11.
