Question

In a city 3/4 of the people own pets. Of those who own pets 4/6 own dogs what fraction of the people in the city own dogs?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people in the town be 100 people.

∵ Fraction of people in the city who own pets = 3/4

∴ Number of people in the city who own pets = 3/4 × 100

                                                                            = 75 people

∵ Fraction of the 75 people who own dogs only as pets = 4/6

∴ Number of the 75 people who own dogs only as pets = 4/6 × 75

                                                                                             = 50 people

∴ Fraction of people in the city who own dogs only = 50/100

                                                                                     = 1/2

∴ 1/2 people of the city own only dogs.
