At a zoo the ratio of elephant to hippos is 1:2so for every elephant there are 2 hippos if there were3 elephant at the zoo how many hippos would there be
i think it will be 1÷2×2÷3
So -- how many hippos are there?
3 hippos
But there are 3 elephants. The problems says that for every elephant there are 2 hippos.
To find the number of hippos, we can use the given ratio of 1:2.
If there are 3 elephants, we can calculate the number of hippos by multiplying the number of elephants by the ratio: 3 x 2 = 6.
Therefore, if there are 3 elephants at the zoo, there would be 6 hippos.
