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.
12000 - 2900 = 9100
9100 / 36 = 252.77.....about 253 per month
Answers:
- x = 21.25
- y = 22.5
- z = 23.75
=============================================================
Work Shown:
AP = arithmetic progression, which is the same as arithmetic sequence
d = common difference
- x = 20+d
- y = 20+2d
- z = 20+3d
Notice how we scale up the d terms d, 2d, 3d, counting up by 1 each time.
So that must mean 25 is the same as 20+4d
20+4d = 25
4d = 25-20
4d = 5
d = 5/4
d = 1.25
and therefore,
- x = 20+d = 20+1.25 = 21.25
- y = 20+2d = 20+2*1.25 = 22.5
- z = 20+3d = 20+3*1.25 = 23.75
We could convert these to fraction form, but I find decimal form is easier in this case.
I’m not sure if you need the steps but x is -4 and y is -1
