There are 15 giraffes in the zoo.

  • Let the Elephant be E.
  • Let the Giraffe be G.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total animals = 18 animals
  • Ratio of E to G = 1:5
  • Total ratio= 1 + 5 = 6

To find how many of the animals are giraffes:

G = \frac{Ratio \; of \; giraffe}{Total \; ratio} × Total \; animals

Substituting the values, we have;

G = \frac{5}{6} × 18

G = \frac{90}{6}

<em>Giraffe, G </em><em>=</em><em> 15 giraffes</em>

Therefore, there are 15 giraffes in the zoo.

Answer:

. We assume, that the number 260 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260=100%.

4. We know, that x is 6.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.75%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 260=100%

2) x=6.75%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

260/x=100%/6.75%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 6.75% of 260

260/x=100/6.75

(260/x)*x=(100/6.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

260=14.814814814815*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.814814814815) to get x

260/14.814814814815=x

17.55=x

x=17.55

now we have:

6.75% of 260=17.55

<span>From the problem, you can get this equation:
Jane is 2 years older than Sally
J=z+2
David is 4 times older than Jane.
D=4J

</span>Write two equivalent expressions that represent David’s age in terms of Sally’s age, z, and explain how the two expressions relate to one another.<span>Sally is z years old.
From the 2 equation above, you can get:
</span>D=4J
D=4(z+2)
D=4z+8

D-8=4z
(D-8)/4=z
The two equivalent expression would be D=4z+8 and (D-8)/4=z

The expression that more usefull would be D=4z+8 if you want to determine David age.
