3/28 of the animals are birds. 4/15 are birds of prey. What fraction of the animals are birds of prey.

Respuesta :

let's call animals "a", and birds "b", birds of prey, "p"

so, b=[tex] \frac{3}{28} a[/tex]

and p=[tex] \frac{4}{15} b[/tex]
what;s the relation of p to a?

we substitude b into the last one:

and p=[tex] \frac{4}{15}* \frac{3}{28} a [/tex]
so:
p=[tex] \frac{4*3}{15*28} a [/tex]

p=[tex] \frac{4*1}{5*28} a [/tex]


p=[tex] \frac{1*1}{5*7} a [/tex]

p=[tex] \frac{1*1}{35} a [/tex]

which is the answer!
