Answer 1

Answer:

Final Answer: There are 30 cows.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of cows will be 30.

Explanation:

On Mrs Clarito's farm, we have given the following ratio,

The ratio of goat to cow is 5:6,

Let the number of goats be 5x.......(a)

The number of cows is 6x..........(b)

According to the question, it is mentioned that

we have 25 goats in number,............(c)

so equating the goats, that is the equation (a) and (c).

we get,

5x=25

from that we can calculate the value of x,

that is we get,

x=5

so, the number of cows will be 6x= 6*5=30.

The number of goats will be 5x=5*5=25.

which is true as per the given data that is already mentioned.

Hence the number of cows will be 30.
