Answer:

Their are 18 number of purebreds

Explanation:

An animal shelter has 2 purebred Labradors among the 81 dogs available for adoption. It is known that 7/9 of the dogs are mongrels .The number of purebreds can be computed below.

The number of purebreds Labrador available for adoption = 2 purebred

The total number of dogs = 81 dogs

7/9 of the dogs are mongrels. This means 7/9 × 81 = 567/9 = 63

The number of mongrels = 63

The number of purebreds = 81 - 63 = 18

Their are 18 number of purebreds
