Question

A farmer has some animals on his farm. If they are all horses but two, all cows but two and all goats but two, how many animals does he have in all. Best a gets brainlist mark if well explained

Answer 1

Answer:

all but means all except.

All but two were cows mean : he had two other animals including cows

All but two were horses mean : he had two other animals including horses

All but two were goats means he had two other animals including goat

The total animals were :

1 cow + 1 horse + 1 goat = 3

This is because there are only three animals mentioned and in each case we had 'but only two' to represent the other animals he had.

This means that we had one type of animal for every variety.
