Answer:
24 spaniels
Step-by-step explanation:
4 many spaniels as retriever means that if you put the dogs in the correct order, every 5 animals you will have one retriever and 4 spaniels, then one retriever and four more spaniels. That is, there are groups of 5 dogs with that ratio. If there are 30 dogs, you can make 6 of these groups. It means that you have 24 spaniels and 6 retrievers.
