Question

There are 64 animals at the zoo. ⅜ of the animals are birds. How many birds are at the zoo?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:64/1*3/8= 192/8

192/8= 24

24 birds at the zoo

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

3/8 of the 64 total animals at the zoo are birds.

To solve, this, multiply 3/8 and 64

3/8*64=24

Another way to solve would be to make a proportion

3/8=x/64

Multiply both sides by 64 to get x by itself

64(3/8)=(x/64)64

24=x

So, 24 out of the 64 animals are birds
