Question

30% of a of kittens are male. If 3 kittens are male, how many kittens are in the litter?​

Answer 1

To find the total number of kittens in the litter, we can set up a proportion using the given information. The proportion will help us solve for the total number of kittens.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of kittens in the litter, we need to set up a proportion. Let's call the total number of kittens in the litter x. We know that 30% of the kittens are male, which means the number of male kittens is 30% of x. We can set up the proportion: 3/30% = x/100%. Solving this proportion, we find that x = (3 * 100) / 30 = 10 kittens.

Answer 2

`\large\bf{\underline{Given:}}`

• 30%of kitten are male
• 3 kitten are male

`\large\bf{\underline{To\:find:}}`

• Total number of kitten in the litter

`\bf{Let\:the\:total\:no.\:of\: kitten\:x}`

`\bf{⟹30\%\:of\:x=3}`

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`\bf{⟹(30)/(100)* x= 3}`

‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎‎‎ ‎ ‎
`\bf{⟹x= 3* (100)/(30)}`
