Answer 1

7/16

7 is dog 9 is cat

7+9=16

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of dogs to animals  $\frac{9}{16}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the shelter captures 9 dogs they also catch 7 cats.

So,

the total number of Animals = Total number of Dogs + Total number of Cats

                                                = $9+7$

                                                 =$16$

Therefore,

The ratio of dogs to animals    = Number of Dogs / Total number of animals

                                                   = $\frac{9}{16}$
