Question

a pet store has 2 gray rabbits. one eight of the rabbits at the pet store are gray. how many rabbits does the pet store have?

Answer 1

2 = 1/8

2 x 8 = 16

16 = 8/8

Answer 2

2 gray rabbits is 1/8 of 16. The store has 16 rabbits.

because if 2 rabbits are gray. and is those two = 1 eighth. then two rabbits would equal 1 out of eight. so whats two x eight? 16. it just seems like the logical answer.
