Question

At a farm the ratio of goats to cows was 9 : 2. If there were 72 goats at the farm, how many cows were there? plz plz give the ans for class 6

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of cows  = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of goats to cows = 9:2

No. of goats = 72

Let the no. of cows be 'x'.

Therefore,

9 : 2 :: 72 : x

Product of extremes = product of means.

= 2 * 72 = 9x

= 144 = 9x

= 144/9 = x

so,

x = 16

Answer 2

Answer:

let number of gaot and cows are 9x and 2x

According to question

9x=72

x=8

so no of cow is 2x

2×8

16
