Answer 1

Answer:

there are

16, 8, 12 and 4 different animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:  

Step one:  

given data

Number of Animals = 40

The given ratio is = 4:2:3:1  

The total ratio is = 4+2+3+1= 810

Step two;

Applying the part to all method

The first animal  

4/10=x/40

cross multiply  

10x= 40*4  

divide both sides by 10

x= 160/10

x= 16

for second we have  

2/10=x/40

cross multiply  

10x= 40*2  

divide both sides by 10

x= 80/10

x= 8

for the third  we have

3/10=x/40  

cross multiply  

10x= 40*3  

divide both sides by 10

x= 120/10

x= 12

for the fourth  we have

1/10=x/40  

cross multiply  

10x= 40*1  

divide both sides by 10

x= 40/10

x= 4
