    Number of dogs in the shelter are 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1:

    Given that total animals = 108 and number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108. Find number of ferrets in the shelter.

    Number of ferrets = 1/3 of 108 = 1/3 * 108 = 36

    Step 2:

    Given that of the remaining animals, number of cats = 5/6. Find the remaining animals and the number of cats.

    Remaining number of animals = 108 - 36 = 72

    Number of cats = 5/6 of 72 = 5/6 * 72 = 60

    Step 3:

    Find number of dogs in the shelter.

    Number of dogs = 108 - (36 + 60) = 108 - 96 = 12
