Question

6cows can graze a field in 28 days how long would 14 cows take to graze the same fild

Answer 1

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, this is a simple ratio and proportion question here where 6 cows take 28 days meaning 14 cows would take a lesser number of days to graze right?

Exactly. So know already that we should be expecting a number less than 28 days. Good, let's move from there now.

If 6 cows = 28 days

then 14 cows = x number of days.

Now, I'm pretty sure you know about "If less, more divides and if more, less divides" Sure that's the exact scenario here.

So the 'more' of the similar value(14 cows) ,becomes the divisor of our equation now; (6*28)/14 = 12

Hence our answer 12 days.

Hope you got it. All the best!
