I'd be happy to help with that!
Given that the ratio of leopards to tigers in the zoo is 6:11, and there are 12 leopards, we can set up a proportion to find the number of tigers.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. The ratio of leopards to tigers is 6:11.
2. Since we know there are 12 leopards, we can set up the proportion: 6 leopards / 12 leopards = 11 tigers / x (unknown number of tigers).
3. Simplifying the proportion gives us: 6/12 = 11/x.
4. Cross multiplying, we get: 6x = 132.
5. Solving for x (the number of tigers), we find: x = 22.
Therefore, there are 22 tigers in the zoo.
