I can do math but I am seriously lacking on how to form the equation. I think the equation should look like this; 305/175=886/x. However when I do the math I get a crazy answer. Help. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 175/350:886/n
175n=310100
n=310100/175=1772
There are approximately 1772 deer in the conservatory..
