Question

A and b rent a pasture for 10 month a puts in 100 cows for 8 month how many cows b can put if he want to pay half as a

Answer 1

Answer:

600 cows

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement 3/2 times as much as a it means :

B = 3/2A

Let the amount paid by A be t then the amount paid by B is :

B = 3/2t

The ratio of price paid by A to B is :

t/(3/2t) = 2/3 = 2 : 3

The ratio of the prices A : B = 2:3

We have the specifications for A:

Cows = 100

Months = 8 months

Cow months = 100 × 8 = 800

Let the number of cows that B has be x then:.

Cow months = x × 2 = 2x

The ratio of the Cow months is :

800 : 2x

This ratio is equal to the ratio of the prices.

Therefore :

800/2x = 2/3

3(800) = 2(2x)

2400 = 4x

x = 2400/4

x = 600

Therefore B puts 600 cows.
