Q. At a pond there were 24 ducks swimming. The tape diagram shows the ratio of ducklings to adult ducks.Adult ducksComplete the table.\begin{tabular}{lll} & Original ratio & Number in the pond \\\hline Ducklings & 5 & 20 \\\hline Adult ducks & 1 & 4 \\\hline Total ducks & & 24\end{tabular}
Ratio Calculation: The tape diagram shows the ratio of ducklings to adult ducks is 5 to 1. We need to find out how many adult ducks there are if there are 24 ducks in total.
Total Parts Calculation: First, let's add up the parts of the ratio: 5 parts for ducklings +1 part for adult ducks =6 parts in total.
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: 24 ducks ÷6 parts = 4 ducks per part.
Adult Ducks Calculation: Since there's 1 part for adult ducks, we multiply the number of ducks per part by the number of parts for adult ducks: 4 ducks per part ×1 part =4 adult ducks.
