Question

Sally’s dog boarding service currently has 2 Great Danes, 8 golden retrievers, 22 mastiffs, and 12 Doberman pinschers. What is that ratio of Doberman pinschers to the total number of dogs at Sally’s boarding service?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, determine how many dogs are at the boarding service:

2+8+22+12 = 44

Then:

# of Dobermans          12

--------------------------  =  ------- = 6/22 or 3/ 11

     total # of dogs         44

The desired ratio is 3/11.
