Answer :
Answer:
187 [D]
Step-by-step explanation:
When a ratio is 1 to 3, it means for every 3 __ there is 1 __
(the blanks are given from the order of the statement)
So, for every 1 ape, there are 3 monkeys
We can rewrite this as :
3 monkeys : 1 ape
[because we know how many monkeys]
If there are 561 mokeys, we want to find how many "3 monkeys" make up that total number
561 ÷ 3 = 187
So, because there are 187 groups of 3 monkeys, we know that there should be 187 apes.
This makes D, 187, the correct answer.
hope this helps!!
Answer:
d.187
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will want to write out what you know
The ratio is 1:3.
There are 561 monkeys
apes are the 1 and monkeys are the 3
Then do the math
so you divide 561 by 3. (I think I wrote that right...)
561/3 = 187
d. 187
