at a local river, there were 48 alligators laying on the riverbank. if 5/6 of the alligators were asleep, how many were not asleep? please explain your answer
40 alligators are asleep. If the total of alligators is 48 you divide 48 by 6 which is 8. You multiply 5 by 8 because 5 out of six alligators are asleep so 40 alligators are asleep.
