Answer:

The ratio of geckos to lizards is 1:3

So, that means 1/(3+1) of the animals are geckos.

1/4 of the reptiles are geckos.

And, there are 20 geckos.

Ratios are used to show the relationship between related quantities. The number of geckos in the pet store is 20.

Given that:

[tex]Total = 80[/tex]

[tex]Gecko : Anole = 1 :3[/tex]

The number of geckos (n) in the store is calculated as follows:

[tex]n = \frac{Gecko}{Gecko + Anole} \times Total[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n = \frac{1}{1+ 3} \times 80[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{1}{4} \times 80[/tex]

[tex]n = 20[/tex]

Hence, there are 20 geckos in the store
