Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]J = 9[/tex] --- Jenna's dog

[tex]A = 2277[/tex] -- Animal Shelter

See comment for proper format of the question

Required

How many times did A use than J

The options are not clear. So, the general solution is as follows.

To solve this, we simply divide the chew toys used in A by the chew toys used by J

So, we have:

[tex]n = \frac{A}{J}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]n = \frac{2277}{9}[/tex]

[tex]n = 253[/tex]
