16/2 =8 Always reduce
2/2 =1
8 : 1
The local zoo has 3 lions, 4 elephants, 2 giraffes, 5 monkeys, and 2 zebras. What is the ratios of zebras total animals.
Answer: I counted the total number of animals which is 16 so I got 2 zebras to 16 animals or 2:16 or 2/16
Do I need to do anything else in this problem? Please help me because I have not done ratios before.
Thank you

It asked for zebras : total
= 2 : 16
= 1 : 8 , not 8 : 1
= 2 : 16
= 1 : 8 , not 8 : 1
I am sorry I typed it wrong. It says what is the ratio of zebras to total animals?
Would it be 2/16=1/8 so total number of zebras 1 to 8 animals total?
Mike I am sorry I typed it in the wrong way and posted my new answer. Can you take a look at it please?
