A petting zoo has 5 lambs 11 rabbits 4 goats and 4 piglets. Find the ratio of goats to the total number of animals. THen explain its meaning
1/6? 1 goat for every 6 animals
Right.
At the potluck there were 6 pecan pies 7 lemon pies 13 cherry pies and 8 apple pies. Find the ratio of apple pies to the total number of pies. Then explaining its meaning
4/17? 4 apple pies for every 17 pies?
Right.
To find the ratio of goats to the total number of animals in the petting zoo, we first need to determine the total number of animals in the zoo.
We add the number of each type of animal: 5 lambs + 11 rabbits + 4 goats + 4 piglets = 24 animals.
Now, we can calculate the ratio of goats to the total number of animals. We divide the number of goats (4) by the total number of animals (24):
4 goats / 24 animals = 1/6
The resulting ratio is 1/6, which means that for every 6 animals in the petting zoo, there is 1 goat. In other words, there is 1 goat for every group of 6 animals in the zoo.
