Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the table is completed as follows:

                         Original Ratio Number in the zoo

Baby camels     5                     20

Adult camels     6                     24

Total camels     11                     44

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

At the zoo, for every 6 adult camels, there are 5 baby camels, hence, out of 11 camels, 5 are baby and 6 are adult.

Thus, out of 44 camels, we have that:

  • 44/11 x 5 = 20, hence there are 20 baby camels.
  • 44/11 x 6 = 24, hence there are 24 adult camels.

The table is:

                         Original Ratio Number in the zoo

Baby camels     5                     20

Adult camels     6                     24

Total camels     11                     44
