in the town zoo, 3/28 of the animals are birds. of the birds, 4/15 are birds of prey. what fraction of the animals are birds of prey?

Verified Answer :

let's call the animals "a" and birds "b"

b=\(\frac{3}{28}a\)

we knot this from3/28 of the animals are birds.

and we also know that 4/15 are birds of prey.  so

p=\(\frac{4}{15}b\)

we could substitute:

p=\(\frac{4*3}{15*28}\)

and solve:

p=\(\frac{1}{35}\)
and this is the answer!
