Answer: A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Danika has 1/4 lb apple and a 3/16 apple. We have to find a common denominator to be able to subtract them. We can do this by finding out 4 times how much equals 16. Which is 4. So you multiply both of the numbers by 4, (1x4 = 4 , 4x4 = 16) being 4/16. Now you just have to subtract the top numbers "4-3 = 1" 1/16.
20 animals - 2 rabbits = 18 animals
18 animals + 2 gerbils = 20 animals.
20 animals / 4 = 5 animals
There are 5 rabbits and 15 gerbils now.
At the start 2 rabbits were sold so add that on.
5 + 2 = 7
There were 7 rabbits.
There weren't any twin gerbils then.
15 - 2 = 13.
There were 13 gerbils and 7 rabbits to start with.
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying :)
