Answer:

Every 6 fish there is a dog so you divide.

216 fish / 6 fish for every dog = 36 dogs

Hope this helps

Answer:

There are 36 dogs in the pet store

Explanation:

For every dog there are 6 fish in the store,

then if there is a total of 216 fish, we can find the number of dogs by dividing 216 by 6:

216/6 = 36

There are 36 dogs in the pet store
