bao nhiêu: how many

voi: elephant
ở: at/on/in
sở thú: zoo

Why is the word "there" in the sentence ?? How many elephants are in the zoo is wrong ?!

[MokoHughes]

What is the purpose of adding "có" to the beginning of this sentence? Would the sentance work without it?

[Shea603077]

how many elephants does the zoo have? nope, marked wrong

[Mmoaa]

How many elephants in the zoo was marked incorrect.

[MattIholts]

"How many elephants are at the zoo" is what I wrote and it was correct.

[Kev72491]

Same here. I think that would be the best translation.
