There are 50 big cats in the zoo.


�2/5 of them are tigers.

� 1/5 of them are leopards. The rest are lions.
How many lions are there in the zoo?

(2/5) * 50 = 20 tigers

(1/5) * 50 = 10 leopards

sum = 30
so
50 - 30 = 20 lions

well, 2/5+1/5 equals 3/5, leaving 2/5

lions=2/5 of 50= you do it.

To find the number of lions in the zoo, we need to subtract the number of tigers and leopards from the total number of big cats.

Step 1: Find the number of tigers using 2/5 of the total number of big cats:
Tigers = (2/5) * 50 = 20

Step 2: Find the number of leopards using 1/5 of the total number of big cats:
Leopards = (1/5) * 50 = 10

Step 3: Subtract the number of tigers and leopards from the total number of big cats to find the number of lions:
Lions = Total number of big cats - Tigers - Leopards
Lions = 50 - 20 - 10 = 20

Therefore, there are 20 lions in the zoo.

To find the number of lions in the zoo, we first need to figure out how many tigers and leopards there are.

We are given that 2/5 (or 2 out of 5) of the big cats are tigers. To find the number of tigers, we can multiply the total number of big cats (50) by the fraction representing the proportion of tigers (2/5).

Mathematically, this can be calculated as:
Number of tigers = (2/5) * 50

To simplify, let's convert the fraction 2/5 into a decimal:
2/5 = 0.4

Now, we can calculate the number of tigers:
Number of tigers = 0.4 * 50
Number of tigers = 20

So, there are 20 tigers in the zoo.

Next, we are told that 1/5 (or 1 out of 5) of the big cats are leopards. Similarly, we can find the number of leopards by multiplying the total number of big cats (50) by the fraction representing the proportion of leopards (1/5).

Using the same process as before:
Number of leopards = (1/5) * 50

Converting the fraction 1/5 into a decimal:
1/5 = 0.2

Now, we can calculate the number of leopards:
Number of leopards = 0.2 * 50
Number of leopards = 10

So, there are 10 leopards in the zoo.

Since the remaining big cats are lions, we can find their number by subtracting the sum of tigers and leopards from the total number of big cats:

Number of lions = Total number of big cats - (Number of tigers + Number of leopards)
Number of lions = 50 - (20 + 10)
Number of lions = 50 - 30
Number of lions = 20

Therefore, there are 20 lions in the zoo.
