Question

The ratio of the number of hippos to the number of crocodiles at a watering hole is 4:3. If you draw a double number line diagram that would show the number of crocodiles if there were 20 hippos, how may crocodiles would you have? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer: 15 crocodriles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio is 4:3

This means that for each 4 hippos, we have 3 cocodriles.

We know that there are 20 hippos.

How many groups of 4 hippos we have?

n = 20/4 = 5

So we have 5 groups of 4 hippos, this means that we also have 5 groups of 3 crocodiles, then we have:

3*5 = 15 crocodiles
