Question

There are eight hamsters at crazy peds pet shop that are completely brown. The rest of the hamsters at the shop or mixed colors. The eight brown hamsters represent 2/5 of the total numbers of hamsters at the pet shop

Answer 1

there are a total of 20 hamsters. I solved it by dividing the 8 hamster by 2 to get what 1/5 would be. After i know 1/5=4 hamsters i multiplied 4*5

4 hamsters is the same as 1/4 of all the hamster

8 hamsters=2/5

12 hamster=3/5

16 hamster=4/5
