Mary sees 40 elephants and 15 baby elephants at the zoo. What is the ratio of elephants to baby elephants?

40:15 = 8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Since there are 40 elephants and 15 baby elephants, the answer would be 40:15, but we want to simplify the ratio. In order to simplify the ratio, just divide each number by 5:

40 ÷ 5 = 8

15 ÷ 5 = 3

8:3

Therefore, the answer is 8:3.

Hope this helps! :D

i am unable to solve this problem

step-by-step explanation:

d. $180

step-by-step explanation:

if the dimensions of the room is 9ft by 12 ft, we have the area of the floor as,

so the area of the floor is 108 square feet, converting that into square yards we get,

the cost of carpet is $15 per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 12 square yards is,

hence, the cost of carpet is $180.

assuming the dimensions of the room be,

15 ft by 12 ft

so, the area of the floor of that room is,

we can convert 180 square feet into square yards, we know that,

1 sq ft = 0.111 sq yard

so, 180 square feet is,

so the area of floor is 20 square yards.

now, the cost of carpet is 15 dollars per square yard, therefore the cost of carpet for 20 square yards is,

so, it will cost $300.
