Answer: 18 animals
Step-by-step explanation:
3 out of 20 pet owners get their pet from a breeder.
To find how many animals have been bought from a breeder, you need to find 3/20 of the 122 animals.
3/20 = 0.15
122 * 0.15 = 18.3
18.3 rounds down to 18
There are 18 animals who have been bought from a breeder.
When you solve that you get 30.825 because you divided 123.3 which was your dimensions times 9 and if you divide that by 4 you get 30.825 . Let me know if that is correct if not I will find new solution!
