Answer:

[tex]Giraffe:Others = 3:7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See Attachment for complete question

For this question, we only need the data at the Congtin column.

So, we have:

[tex]Giraffes = 124[/tex]

[tex]Other = 108[/tex]

First, we need to reduce Giraffe by 63%.

This gives:

[tex]New\ Giraffe = Giraffe - 63\% * Giraffe[/tex]

[tex]New\ Giraffe = 124 - 63\% * 124[/tex]

[tex]New\ Giraffe = 124 - 78.12[/tex]

[tex]New\ Giraffe = 45.88[/tex]

Represent this as a ratio:

[tex]Giraffe:Others = 45.88:108[/tex]

The closest to this ratio is 3:7.

This is shown by dividing the ratio by 15

i.e.

[tex]Giraffe:Others = 45.88/15:108/15[/tex]

[tex]Giraffe:Others = 3.0589:7.2[/tex]

Approximate:

[tex]Giraffe:Others = 3:7[/tex]
