Question

A kennel has 16 employees to watch over 400 dogs. What is the ratio of dogs to employees?

Answer 1

25 : 1

the ratio of dogs : employees = 400 : 16

to simplify the ratio divide both parts by 16

400 : 16 = 25 : 1 ← in simplest form

Answer 2

400/16= 25

answer: it's a 16 to 25 ratio

one worker covers 25 dogs
