a petting zoo has 5 lambs 11 rabbits 4 goats and 4 piglets. find the ratio of goats to the total number of animals. write the ratio in the simplest form then explain its meaning
First, add together the number of all the animals.
5+11+4+4=24
Then, find the number of goats and put that into a ratio with 24
4:24
1:6
This ratio means that for every 6 animals there is 1 goat
Hope this helps :D
