The chart is how the separate sections of 81 dogs.


For Labrador Retrievers, we need 2/9 of 81.

[tex] \frac{2}{9} * \frac{81}{1} [/tex]

Divide 9

[tex] \frac{2}{1} * \frac{9}{1} = 18[/tex]

18 is the final answer

The pi chart represents how the total 81 dogs were split up.

1/3 of 81 were Beagles
2/9 of 81 were Labrador Retrievers
1/8 of 81 were Bulldogs
1/3 of 81 were Boxers

We are looking for Labrador Retrievers, so we must find 2/9 of 81, or, in other words,

2/9 x 81 

Rewrite it as:
[tex] \frac{2}{9} * \frac{81}{9} [/tex]

You can cancel out the 9's in both fractions to make it simpler.
[tex] \frac{2}{9} * \frac{81}{1} = \frac{2}{1} * \frac{9}{1} [/tex]

18 is the number of Labrador Retrievers.
_________________________________________________
If you don't understand the crossing out fractions, think of it this way...
[tex] \frac{2}{9} * \frac{81}{1} = \frac{162}{9} = 18[/tex]

Just multiply numerators AND denominators, don't leave denominators the same (this is not adding)


Because 162 divide by 9 is 18

Hope this helps! :)
