Question

A Zoo Has a Elephant to giraffe ratio of 1 to 5. There are 18 Total animals. How many are giraffes? (Please Answer Quickly i really need this!!!)

Answer 1

There are 15 giraffes in the zoo.

• Let the Elephant be E.

• Let the Giraffe be G.

Given the following data:

• 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;

$G = \frac{5}{6}$ × $18$

$G = \frac{90}{6}$

Giraffe, G = 15 giraffes

Therefore, there are 15 giraffes in the zoo.
