Question

There are 15 dogs and 22 cats in an animal shelter. What is the ratio of the number of dogs to the total number of animals?

Answer 1

Hello!

The first step, we have to calculate the total of animals in this shelter:

15 + 22 = 37 animals

Now, to find the ratio we will write as a fraction, look:

`\frac{\text{ number of dogs}}{\text{ total of animals}}=(15)/(37)`

Right answer: C.
