Question

I if the no of Girates at congtin were reduced by 63% what would be the approximate ratio of giraffes to animals in other category be?​

Answer 1

`Giraffe:Others = 3:7`

Explanation:

See Attachment for complete question

For this question, we only need the data at the Congtin column.

So, we have:

`Giraffes = 124`

`Other = 108`

First, we need to reduce Giraffe by 63%.

This gives:

`New\ Giraffe = Giraffe - 63\% * Giraffe`

`New\ Giraffe = 124 - 63\% * 124`

`New\ Giraffe = 124 - 78.12`

`New\ Giraffe = 45.88`

Represent this as a ratio:

`Giraffe:Others = 45.88:108`

The closest to this ratio is 3:7.

This is shown by dividing the ratio by 15

i.e.

`Giraffe:Others = 45.88/15:108/15`

`Giraffe:Others = 3.0589:7.2`

Approximate:

`Giraffe:Others = 3:7`
