Question

Rosa has a chicken farm. The ratio of red to black chickens is 2 to 3. If she has a total of 20 chickens, how many are red?

Answer 1

the answer is 8 red chickens

Answer 2

Answer: If 2 out of every 3 chickens are red, then about 13 chickens would be red. There is no whole-number answer because 20/3 cannot be simplified to a whole number.
