Answer 2

Answer:

20% of the animals are giraffes

80% of the animals are zebras

=====================================

Explanation:

Let's say there are 5 animals. This would mean there's 1 giraffe and 4 zebras, since we have four zebras per giraffe.

The percentage of giraffes is 1/5 = 0.20 = 20%

and the percentage of zebras is 4/5 = 0.80 = 80%
