Answer:

18 small dogs

Explanation:

Given the ratio of small dogs to all dogs was 3:7

Total dogs that are there = 42 dogs

Number of small dogs there = ratio of small/ratio of all dogs * Total dogs

Number of small dogs there = 3/7 * 42

Number of small dogs there = 3 * 6

Number of small dogs there = 18

Hence there are 18 small dogs there
