The pi chart represents how the total 81 dogs were split up.
1/3 of 81 were Beagles
2/9 of 81 were Labrador Retrievers
1/8 of 81 were Bulldogs
1/3 of 81 were Boxers
We are looking for Labrador Retrievers, so we must find 2/9 of 81, or, in other words,
2/9 x 81
Rewrite it as:

You can cancel out the 9's in both fractions to make it simpler.

18 is the number of Labrador Retrievers.

If you don't understand the crossing out fractions, think of it this way...

Just multiply numerators AND denominators, don't leave denominators the same (this is not adding)
Because 162 divide by 9 is 18
Hope this helps! :)
