There are _____ more small dogs than large dogs.
There are _____ times as many small dogs as large dogs.
There are _____ fewer large dogs than smaller dogs.
The number of large dogs is _____ the number of small dogs.

Answer 1

Answers:

1.) There are 6 more small dogs than large dogs.

We can figure this out by subtracting the total off small dogs by large dogs.

8-2=6

2.) There are 4 times as many small dogs as large dogs.

We can figure this out by dividing the total of small dogs by the total of large dogs

8/2= 4

3.) There are 6 fewer larger dogs than smaller dogs.

We can solve this by subtracting the total of small dogs by larger dogs.

8-2=6

4.) The number of large dogs is 4 times less than the number of small dogs

We can solve this by dividing the total of small dogs by the total of large dogs

8/2= 4

I hope this helps :)
