Can someone help me with this question as in don't give me the answer but help me how to start it!
I've been stuck on this question for the past 20 min trying different ways.
Thanks
In 2010, only 700 mountain gorillas remained in the world. Of these, about 5/9 of them were living along the Virunga Mountain range between Rwanda and Uganda. How many gorillas were living in this mountain range? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Obviously you must do something with the two numbers. You can add, subtract, multiply or divide. Which do you think you should do? What is your answer? Does it make sense?
Yes I know but the answers I get doesn't make sense!
What should I do 1st?
700 ? 5/9
Try all four methods. What do you get?
Of course! I'll be glad to help you get started on this question.
To find the number of gorillas living along the Virunga Mountain range, we first need to calculate 5/9 of the total number of mountain gorillas.
To do this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Start by writing down the total number of mountain gorillas given in the question, which is 700.
Step 2: Next, calculate 5/9 of the total number of gorillas. To do this, multiply 700 by (5/9).
Step 3: Finally, round your answer to the nearest whole number, as instructed in the question.
By following these steps, you should be able to find the number of gorillas living in the Virunga Mountain range. Good luck!
