Answer:

They have 20 big cats total. 8 lions, and 12 tigers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

It says for every 2 lions, there are 3 tigers. There are 4 sets of 3 tigers, meaning there must be 4 sets of 2 lions. 4 times 2 equals 8. Therefore, there are 8 lions. The question asks how many big cats there are total, so we add lions and tigers together. 12 plus 8 equals 20. Therefore, your answer is 20.

What is the difference in the size between 1/4 and 1 1/2
masya89 [10]
1 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/2
Difference means subtraction

So we do:
3/2-1/4
To get the same denominator, we can multiply the first fraction by 2
6/4-1/4

Then we subtract the numerators and leave the denominator
So the final answer is 5/4 of 1 1/4

Hope this helps
