Answer 1

9 times

Explanation:

A dog snores 1/3 of an hour

60 minutes = 1 hour

Hence,

1/3 of 60 minutes = 20 minutes

Hence, every 20 minutes, the dog snores

This means in 1 hour, the dog snores 3 times

The dog slept for 3 hours

Hence,

1 hour = 3 times

3 hours = x

Cross. Multiply

x = 3 × 3 times

x = 9 times

The dog snores 9 times
