Answer:
21 rabbits
Step-by-step explanation:
⇒ <u><em>Given:</em></u>
<em>There are 126 animals at the shelter. </em>
<em>Of the animals, 1/3 are cats. </em>
<em>Three fourths of the remaining animals are dogs.</em>
<u><em>To Find:</em></u>
<em>How many of the animals are rabbits? Show your work.</em>
<u><em>Solve:</em></u>
<em>Since 1/3 are cats and the total is 126.</em>
<em>Then, 1/3 of 126 is 42. {1/3 × 126 = 42}</em>
<em>Therefore, there are 42 cats. </em>
<em>3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. </em>
<em>Which 3/4 of 84 is 63. { 3/4 × 84 = 63 }</em>
<em> So there are 63 dogs. </em>
<em>Now adding dogs and cats together:</em>
<em>63 + 42 = 105 animals.</em>
<em>126 {Total} - 105{cat and cats} = 21 {rabbits}</em>
<em>Hence, there are 21 rabbits.</em>
