a) 12 goats ate 3 pizzas. To find goat per pizza, dividing the number of goats by the number of pizzas:
[tex]\frac{12\text{ goats}}{3\text{ pizzas}}=4\text{ }\frac{goat}{pizza}[/tex]b) 20 banks are robbed for a total of $50,000. To find the money per bank, divide the total money by the number of banks.
[tex]\frac{50,000}{20}=2500\text{ }\frac{\text{\$}}{bank}[/tex]c) In 86 years, 9 drops have formed. To find years per drop, divide the years by the number of drops.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{86\text{ years}}{9\text{ drops}} \\ 9.6\text{ }\frac{years}{drop} \end{gathered}[/tex]d) 3 hippos eat 5 pumpkins
To find the number of pumpkins per hippo, divide 5 by 3.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{5\text{ pumpkins}}{3\text{ hippos}}=1.7\text{ }\frac{pumpkins}{hippos} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
