Question

In one part of a kennel, 5/8 of the 24 dogs are male. In another part of the kennel, 4/5 of the 30 dogs are male.

How many male dogs are in the two parts of the kennel?

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

The computation of the number of male dogs in the two parts of the kennel is shown below:

In one part, the male dogs are

= 24 × 5 ÷ 8

= 15

In the another part, the male dogs are

= 30 × 4 ÷ 5

= 24

So, the total male dogs is

= 15 + 24

= 39
