Question

56of the 90pets in the pet show are cats 4/5of the cats are calico cats. What fraction of the pets are calico cats?

Answer 1

To get the answer, we can divide 56 by 5 to find one fifth of the cats. Then, we can multiply this number to get four fifths of the cats. Then, we put this number over 90 since there is 90 pets in the entire show. Then, this answer ends up being about half all of the pets are calicos.
