Answer:

4166 ants

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many ants were left, multiply 5000 by 5/6, since it decreased by 1/6:

5000(5/6)

= 4166.67

Round this down:

= 4166

So, at the end of April, there were approximately 4166 ants left

5000 - 5000 x 1/6 =

5000 - 1200 = 833.33...

5000 - 833 = 4167

4167 ants
