Of the animals at a pet show, 3/8 were cats and 4/8 were dogs. The rest of the animals were rabbits. What fraction of the animals were rabbits?

1/8 Of the animals are rabbits.

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8 Cats + 4/8 Dogs = 7/8

1/8 Is all you have room left for so 1/8 would be rabbits.

1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of rabbits = 1 - (3/7 + 4/8)

= 1 - 7/8

= 8/8 - 7/8

= 1/8.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
