Question

For every 3 dogs Carol has, she keeps 12 treats. Which is the correct rate?

Answer 1

4 treats per dog.

Explanation:

Find the rate that she keeps for one dog. As it gives you the rate for 3 dogs, simply divide 3:

(3 dogs/12 treats)/(3/3) = (1 dog/4 treats).

Carol keeps 4 treats for every dog she has.
