Question

The ratio of female birds to male birds in a habitat is 2.4 to 1. If there are 123 female birds in the habitat, and approximately 40% of the male birds are raptors, approximately how many male birds are raptors.

Answer 1

So you will first need to divide 123 by 2.4 to get how many male birds are there. Then you need to multiply that answer by 0.4. That will be your final answer.

Answer 2

The answer is 82.

123 - 60

       - 40

123 * 40 = 4920

4920/60=82

82 male Raptors is your answer.
