No idea how to solve. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's first find a common denominator. What number do both 8 and 6 go into? Let's use 24. or of the figures are cranes.
The remainder is [-], reduced to of are frogs. [1/6 of the remainder are frogs.]
Therefore, of the remainder are grasshoppers.
Multiply across - *=
Can that be reduced? Yes, 3 goes into both numerator and denominator.
