Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 total puppies. To find the number of black puppies, we have to subtract the yellow from the total. So:

12 - 8 = 4

There are 4 black puppies. Now we put the black puppies in ratio to yellow puppies:

4:8

Then simplify (divide both sides by 4):

1:2
