AFor every giraffe in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys.
BFor every 10 giraffes in the zoo, there is 1 monkey.
CFor every 4 giraffes in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys

Verified Answer :

The answer is: C. For every 4 giraffes in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys

That is because, the ratio of number of giraffes to the number of monkeys in a zoo is 2 to 5, or 2/5.

If I multiply 2/5 by 2 (does not change the value) I get 4/10.

So, C is correct!

i would say A but imnot sure
