Question

at the dog show, there are 4 times as many boxer as spaniels. if there are a total of 30 dogs, how many dogs are spaniel?

Answer 1

Firstly, given this information there could be 25 labradors and poodles and only 4 boxers and 1 spaniel. However, assuming that there are only boxers and spaniels at the dog show the first thing to do is to divide 30 by 5 = 6 so the answer is, There are 6 spaniels.
