There are 5 times as many yellow labs as terriers in the dog park .if there are a total of 18 dogs how many dogs are terriers?



Answer :

let t = number of terriers
1 x t = number of total terriers
5 x t = number of yellow labs
1t + 5t = 6t
6t = total number of dogs in the park
6t = 18
t = 18/6
t = 3
there are 3 terriers
