Question

A study of a population of 1,200 frogs revealed that 12 out of every 180 frogs in the population have spots on their back. Based on the results of this study, how many frogs do not have spots on their back? Explain.

Answer 1

80 spotted frogs

Explanation:

We can write a ratio

spotted frogs:frogs

12:180

x:1200

To solve we just multiply 12*6.66667 (because this is what we multiplied 180 to get to 1200)

the answer is 80
