orangutans make up 33 1/3% of zoo's promate exhibit. if there's 18 primates, how many are orangutans?

Answer 1

18 times 33 1/3%
18 times .3313=5.9634 are orangutans

Answer 2

you would multiply 18 by .3333 not .3313...sorry, so it is 5.9994

Answer 3

A simpler way of solving this problem is to convert the percent to a fraction.

33 1/3% = 1/3

1/3 of 18 = 6
