In a zoo the ratio of giraffes to apes is 6 to 5 and the ratio of apes to zebras is 8 to 1. What is the minimum number of zebras the zoo could have?
+538 Say we have 48 giraffes and 40 apes
THen we would have 5 zebras
The GCD of these numbers is 1, so we cant simplify these numbers anymore
SO the zoo has 5 zebras
+239 Heres another way to do it MooMooooMooM:
We know that the numero of apes must have factors of 4 and 5
20 is the smallest number that has these factors,
the smallest number of zebras is 5.
