Question

6 oxen or 8 cows can graze a field in 28 days. How long would 9 oxen or 2 cows take to graze the same field

Answer 1

Answer:

9 oxen can graze the same field in 42 days and 2 cows can graze the same field in 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 6 oxen or 8 cows can graze a field in 28 days.

6 oxen = 28 days

$1\text{ Oxen}=\frac{28}{6}\text{ Days}$

$9\text{ Oxen}=\frac{28}{6}\times 9\text{ Days}$

$9\text{ Oxen}=42\text{ Days}$

9 oxen can graze the same field in 42 days.

8 cows = 28 days

$1\text{ Cows}=\frac{28}{8}\text{ Days}$

$2\text{ Cows}=\frac{28}{8}\times 2\text{ Days}$

$2\text{ Cows}=7\text{ Days}$

Therefore 9 oxen can graze the same field in 42 days and 2 cows can graze the same field in 7 days.
