Question

Can someone please help?? The table shows the number of animals ,by type ,at the petting zoo.

Answer 1

I’m pretty sure that the answer is B

Answer 2

Only statement B is true, so you would select that as the answer.

We can check if statement A is true by finding the ratio of cows to all animals, which we do by finding the total number of animals, 5 + 3 + 2 + 6 = 16.

Then we can say that the ratio of cows to all animals is 2:16, which simplifies to 1:8, so statement A is false.

Statement B is just another way of saying that the ratio of rabbits to all animals is 3:8, so we can see if this is true by finding the ratio of rabbits to all animals. There are 6 rabbits, so it would be 6:16, which simplifies to 3:8. This means that statement B is true.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
