I solved this question by dividing 16 into 60 to figure out how many breaths an adult takes in 1 second, and then doing the same for the puppy.

16/60= .2667
8/15= .5333

Since these numbers are not the same, the rates are not equivalent.

A human adult takes about 16 breaths in 60 seconds. A puppy takes about 8 breaths in about 15 seconds. Are these rates equivalent?
