To express how many puppies are in the image in fraction form, we first need to determine the total number of animals in the picture. According to the description, there are:

  • 3 kittens
  • 1 puppy

So, the total number of animals is: 3 kittens + 1 puppy = 4 animals

Now, to find the fraction of animals that are puppies: Number of puppies = 1 Total number of animals = 4

The fraction of animals that are puppies is: 1 puppy / 4 total animals = 1/4

Therefore, the appropriate way to express how many puppies are in the image in fraction form is: ¼ of the animals in the picture are puppies.
