Answer:

About 2/3 of the animals at the shelter are dogs

Explanation:

Let's first transform the mixed number to the corresponding improper fraction.

67 2/3 is equivalent to (3*67 + 2)/3 = 203/3

we are asked to find a fraction equivalent to 203/3%. To do this, we have to divide the fraction by 10, as follows:

203/3% = (203/3)*(1/100) = 203/300 ≈ 2/3
