    1:2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There are 12 total puppies. To find the number of black puppies, we have to subtract the yellow from the total. So:

    12 - 8 = 4

    There are 4 black puppies. Now we put the black puppies in ratio to yellow puppies:

    4:8

    Then simplify (divide both sides by 4):

    1:2
