Answer 1

Answer: 2.28 times

When finding out the number of times more that the animal shelter used chew toys than Jenna's dogs, you need to divide the number used by the animal shelter by Jenna:

= Number used by animal shelter / Number used by Jenna's dogs

= 2,277 / 999

= 2.28 times

Notice that if you multiply Jenna's dogs 999 toys by 2.28 you will get approximately 2,277.
