Answer:
20 tigers
Step-by-step explanation:
Method I
x/12 = 5/3
Multiply both sides by 12
x = 5/3 * 12
x = 20
Method II
12 / 3 = 4
So there 4 times as many as the base ratio
multiply the ratio by 4
20 : 12
20 tigers : 12 lions
Answer:
12 divided by 3 = 4 is our rate
So now that we've found our rate we multiply it to the tigers which is 5,
5 x 4 = 20 tigers
You see,
In order to find the other proportion of the ratio we need to first figure out the rate between the two given numbers. Once we do find the rate, we multiply it to the animal/thing that we are solving for and that will be your new number.
