What do you think?
2/12
Right.
Your teacher may want you to simplify the fraction.
2/12 = 1/6
To find the fraction of the dogs that were dalmatians, we need to divide the number of dalmatians by the total number of dogs.
In this case, we know that 2 out of 12 dogs were dalmatians. So the fraction of dalmatians would be 2/12.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.
Dividing both 2 and 12 by 2, we get 1/6.
Therefore, 1/6 of the dogs were dalmatians.
