A kennel has 8 adult dogs and 14 puppies.What is the ratio of adult dogs to puppies? Use a multiplicative comparison to explain its meaning



Answer :

Given:
adult dogs = 8
puppies = 14

Now,

ratio of adult dogs to puppies = adult dogs / puppies
                                           = 8 / 14
          (reducing the fraction, we get)
                                           = 4 / 7

So, the ratio of adult dogs to puppies is 4 : 7
