I dont understand the teachers answer at all. You cant have a half a dog. The answer to the question is 36. There are 36 small dogs and 13 large
Have you ever been to a Korean restaurant? ;)
No, your answer gives only 23 more small dogs than large dogs. The break down in the article confused me, when people here wrote the equation using X for large dogs it made sense.
Like another said, using dogs in this problem messes with your mind. Solving for X to then find the total makes sense.
