Answer: There are 7 dogs at the shelter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of dogs to cats is 1:2

Total number of animals = 21

We need to find the number of dogs:

So, Number of dogs would be

$\dfrac{1}{1+2}\times 21\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 21\\\\=7$

Hence, there are 7 dogs at the shelter.
