Guess and Check

1) The Four-Legged Zoo
the four-legged zoo is a small zoo that has only four kinds of animals. There are twice as many giraffes as there are elephants. There are twice as many camels as there are giraffes. There are twice as many alligators as there are camels. There are 45 animals in the zoo. How many of each animal is there?

also, a chart, also known as a t table is required for this problem. the chart is in the picture, just tell me which numbers to put in the boxes in the chart. please, help me! I have already made two guesses, but they are wrong because one answer I got is 30 and the other answer I got is 25 but I need to make it 45 animals in total... I'm just pretty confused so please help me as soon as possible... Thank you so much!

Respuesta :

ok well I see your problem you weren't doing the problem right it said There are twice as many giraffes as there are elephants. There are twice as many camels as there are giraffes. There are twice as many alligators as there are camels. you weren't doing that you were adding not multiplying by two let's say you have 2 elephants there are twice as many giraffes so you have 4 giraffes there are twice as many camels as giraffes so you have 8 camels and there are twice as many alligators as camels so you have 16 alligators see what I'm doing
