Question

I if the no of Girates at congtin were reduced by 63% what would be the approximate ratio of giraffes to animals in other category be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$Giraffe:Others = 3:7$

Step-by-step explanation:

See Attachment for complete question

For this question, we only need the data at the Congtin column.

So, we have:

$Giraffes = 124$

$Other = 108$

First, we need to reduce Giraffe by 63%.

This gives:

$New\ Giraffe = Giraffe - 63\% * Giraffe$

$New\ Giraffe = 124 - 63\% * 124$

$New\ Giraffe = 124 - 78.12$

$New\ Giraffe = 45.88$

Represent this as a ratio:

$Giraffe:Others = 45.88:108$

The closest to this ratio is 3:7.

This is shown by dividing the ratio by 15

i.e.

$Giraffe:Others = 45.88/15:108/15$

$Giraffe:Others = 3.0589:7.2$

Approximate:

$Giraffe:Others = 3:7$
