Answer:


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
