Hello. I see two different ways to interpret this paragraph, each leading to a different answer. From where did you get this "math thing"?some math thing
I have three times as many female ants as male ants. I know that the survival rate of female ants is twice as good as it is for males. If I have 90 female ants and 12 of them die, how many male ants should be left?
We'd like to see any work you've done, as well as how you interpret the problem. In particular, have you been taught what "survival rate" means? Or do you have a guess, based on other things you've learned?I have three times as many female ants as male ants. I know that the survival rate of female ants is twice as good as it is for males.
