Answer:

b.42

Explanation:

the ratiois is 3 to 4 .So every 4 snakes is to 3 frogs so since there are 24 snakes devide the 24 by 4 which will give u 6 then multiply the answer by 3 which will give u 18 which represents the total number of frogs then add 18 +24 which is 42.

so then total number of frogs is 42.
