Answer 2

Given:

A farmer sold 7/10 of his 3. His original flock was 300 sheep.

To find: How many sheep did he sell.

Solution:

Find the total number of sheep in 3 flocks.

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 300 \times 3\\ = 900\end{array}\]$

Now find the 7/10 of 900,

$\[\begin{array}{l} = 900 \times \frac{7}{{10}}\\ = 90 \times 7\\ = 630\end{array}\]$

Hence, he sell 630 sheep.
