Question

The ratio between the number of sheep and the number of horses at the stewart farm is 4 to 7. If each of horse is fed 230 ounces of horse food per day and the farm needs a total 12880 ounces of horse food per day. What is number sheep in the form?

Answer 1

Answer: No. of Sheep = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Number of Sheep and horses be 4x and 7x respectively (Since Their Ratio is 4:7)

Total Horse Food = 12880 ounces

Food for each horse = 230 ounces

No. of Horses = (Total Horse Food)/(Food for each horse)

No. of horses = 12880/230 = 56

No. of Horses ⇒ 7x = 56

⇒x = 56/7 ⇒ x = 8

Now, No. of Sheep = 4x = 4*8 = 32

Therefore, No. of Sheep = 32

Answer 2

let,4x/7x be ratio of sheep and horse
ATQ
230x=12880
7x =56
x=8
where 4x=no. of sheep's
32 =no. of sheeps
