Answer 1

To find the ratio of total animals to leopards, we first need to calculate the total number of animals in the exhibit.

Total animals = Number of lions + Number of tigers + Number of leopards
Total animals = 9 lions + 6 tigers + 3 leopards = 18 animals

Now, we represent the ratio of total animals to leopards:

Ratio = Total animals : Number of leopards
Ratio = 18 : 3

Next, we simplify this ratio.

18 divided by 3 = 6, so the simplified ratio is:

6 : 1

Thus, the correct answer is **6/1**.
