The ratio of hens to rabbits in the barn at Wunderlich Farms is 3 to 5. If there are nifty-six animals in the barn, how

many are rabbits?

11

35

21

36

35 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

hens : rabbits : total

3 : 5 : 3+5

3 : 5 : 8

We have 56 total animals

56/8 = 7

Multiply each term by 7

hens : rabbits : total

3*7 : 5*7 : 8*7

21 : 35 : 56

There are 21 hens and 35 rabbits
