Answer 1

Question

What fraction choose dogs?

Answer:

$\frac {3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 choose rabbits then to get the number that choose other anomals apart from dogs is given by getting the difference between total people and those who choose dogs. This then is expressed as 8-2=6 choose either cat or dogs. These six, half of them choose choose cats and the remaining choose dogs. Therefore 6/2=3

For 3 out of 8, this fraction is equal to

$\frac {3}{8}$

Therefore, the fraction that choose dogs or cats is equal to

$\frac {3}{8}$
