Q. At a pond there were 2424 ducks swimming. The tape diagram shows the ratio of ducklings to adult ducks.\newlineAdult ducks\newlineComplete the table.\newline\begin{tabular}{lll} \newline& Original ratio & Number in the pond \\\newline\hline Ducklings & 55 & 2020 \\\newline\hline Adult ducks & 11 & 44 \\\newline\hline Total ducks & & 2424\newline\end{tabular}
  1. Ratio Calculation: The tape diagram shows the ratio of ducklings to adult ducks is 55 to 11. We need to find out how many adult ducks there are if there are 2424 ducks in total.
  2. Total Parts Calculation: First, let's add up the parts of the ratio: 55 parts for ducklings ++ 11 part for adult ducks == 66 parts in total.
  3. Ducks per Part Calculation: Now, we divide the total number of ducks by the total number of parts to find out how many ducks each part represents: 2424 ducks ÷\div 66 parts = 44 ducks per part.
  4. Adult Ducks Calculation: Since there's 11 part for adult ducks, we multiply the number of ducks per part by the number of parts for adult ducks: 44 ducks per part ×1\times 1 part =4= 4 adult ducks.
