Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of birds are 60

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

A wildlife conservancy maintains a ratio of 2 squirrels for every 8 birds

It means that

2 squirrels = 8 birds

now, we can find number of bird for 1 squirrels

1 squirrel is

$=\frac{8}{2}$birds

$=4$birds

now, we can find for 15 squirrels

we can multiply both sides by 15

15 squirrels is

$=15\times 4$birds

$=60$birds

So,

Total number of birds are 60
