A kennel has 8 adult dogs and 14 puppies. What is the ratio of adult dogs to puppies?

Use a multiplicative comparison to explain its meaning.

Asked by HelpMeOnHW

Answer (3)

Given: adult dogs = 8 puppies = 14
Now,
ratio of adult dogs to puppies = adult dogs / puppies = 8 / 14 (reducing the fraction, we get) = 4 / 7
So, the ratio of adult dogs to puppies is 4** : **7

The ratio of adult dogs to puppies is 4 : 7 . This means for every 4 adult dogs, there are 7 puppies. A multiplicative comparison reveals that if there were 12 adult dogs, there would be 21 puppies in that kennel based on the same ratio.
