Answer:

1/10

Explanation:

----------------------------------

| animals | percent of animals |

----------------------------------

| goats | 16% |

----------------------------------

| camels | 4% |

----------------------------------

| giraffes | 6% |

----------------------------------

| llamas | 6% |

----------------------------------

| deer | 1% |

----------------------------------

| monkeys | 10% |

----------------------------------

| birds | 27% |

----------------------------------

| reptiles | 14% |

----------------------------------

| bears | 16% |

----------------------------------

( sorry if the table above isnt 100% right or straight ^ )

first you add up all the percents of how much animals are in this exhibit

16 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 10 + 27 + 14 + 16

= 100 %

then since we are looking for the probability of stopping in front of the monkeys, we take that 100 we got earlier and get the 10% of monkeys from our table

10/100

but since there isnt a 10/100 on the answers we look for something that equals to 10/100 and 1/10 does since you can just times both the 1 and 10 to equal the 10 and 100 you were looking for

1/10

making 1/10 your answer!

hope this helps! and if you need anymore help on this math question just ask me :)
