Number of adult dogs a kennel has = 8 dogs.

Number of puppies = 14 puppies.

<h3>We need to find the ratio of adult dogs to puppies = Number of adult dogs: Number of puppies.</h3><h3>= 8:14.</h3>

Now, we need to write 8:14 in fraction form $\frac{8}{14} .$

Greatest common factor of 8 and 14 is 2.

$\frac{8}{14} = \frac{2\times 4}{2 \times 7}$ $=\frac{4}{7}$ .

<h3>Therefore, ratio of adult dogs to puppies is 4:7.</h3>
