There are 15 giraffes in the zoo.

  • Let the Elephant be E.
  • Let the Giraffe be G.

Given the following data:

  • Total animals = 18 animals
  • Ratio of E to G = 1:5
  • Total ratio= 1 + 5 = 6

To find how many of the animals are giraffes:

[tex]G = \frac{Ratio \; of \; giraffe}{Total \; ratio}[/tex] × [tex]Total \; animals[/tex]

Substituting the values, we have;

[tex]G = \frac{5}{6}[/tex] × [tex]18[/tex]

[tex]G = \frac{90}{6}[/tex]

Giraffe, G = 15 giraffes

Therefore, there are 15 giraffes in the zoo.
