HI,
This is a problem from PR Cat
A kennel houses 7 times as many mixed-breed dogs as purebred dogs. The ratio of purebred dogs to the total population of dogs in the kennel is
A. 1 to 6
B 1 to 7
C 1 to 8
D 6 to 7
E 7 to 8
I solved it as follows -
Let pure bred dogs be P and mix breed be M
so, P = 7M
Ratio is P/P+M = 7M/7M+M = 7/8
is this correct?
