2. 50

3. 1/3

4. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

There are a total of 100 cats in the cage out of which 50 are females.

The remaining 50 animals are not cats

The fraction male cats in the entire group is 1/3

Given:

Total animals = 150

Fraction of cats = 4/6 =2/3

Fraction of cats that are males = 1/2

Find:

Total number of cats

Total number of female cats

Fraction of cats that are males

Total number of animals other than cats.

Solution:

• Total number of animals = 150
• Number of cats = $\frac{2}{3}$ * 150
•                            = 100
• Number of animals other than cat = 150-100 =50
• Number of male cats = 100 * $\frac{1}{2}$ = 50
• Fraction of male cats = 50/150 =1/3
• Number of female cats = 100 -50 =50

There are a total of 100 cats in the cage out of which 50 are females.

The remaining 50 animals are not cats

The fraction male cats in the entire group is 1/3
