The ratio of the number of giraffes to the number of monkeys in a zoo is 2 to 5. Which statement about the giraffes and monkeys could be true? A. For every giraffe in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys. B. For every 10 giraffes in the zoo, there is 1 monkey. C. For every 4 giraffes in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys D. For every 10 giraffes in the zoo, there are 4 monkeys

C. For every 4 giraffes in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of giraffes to the number of monkeys in a zoo = 2 : 5

giraffes :  monkeys

      4    :       10

   4/2    :       10/2

      2    :       5

So, For every 4 giraffes in the zoo, there are 10 monkeys

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
