How many dogs does each child get?

17 Dogs?!

One day, Bob, a father with 3 children, wants to give his dogs to his children. He has 17 dogs...
Bob wants the first child to get 1/2 of his dogs.
Bob wants the second child to get 1/6 of his dogs.
Bob wants the last child to get 1/9 of his dogs.

How many dogs does each child get?

Remember, dogs can't be cut...

Give comments please...
Thank you, ^^

hoho.. 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/9 = (9 + 3 + 2)/ 18 = 14/18
assume that first child got 9
second got 3
third got 2
the dog remain (3) is bob's mine... wkwkwk
