Answer:
300
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio : 3 + 2 = 5 parts
Divide the number of appointments by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio, that is
= 100 ← value of 1 part of the ratio
The mums consisted of 3 parts, hence
3 × 100 = 300 ← appointments with mums
8 gorrilas
Explanation:The ratio of monkeys to gorrila = 5:2
This means there are 5 monkeys for every 2 gorrilas
when there are 20 monkeys,
let the number of gorrilas = x
5 monkeys = 2 gorrilas
20 monkeys = x
cross multiply:
5(x) = 20(2)
5x = 40
divide both sides by 5:
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
Hence, if there were 20 monkeys, we would have 8 gorrilas.
