Question

There are 338 cows and goats on a farm. 23 of the cows are equal to 51 of the goats on the farm.
How many cows are there on the farm ?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation:

2/3 of x = 15 goats

2/3 of x = 15/1 (as 1 goat = 1)

2/3 of x = 45

x = 45 * 3/2

x = 67.5

As the number of cows cannot be a decimal, we round off the answer to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the number of cows on the farm is 78.
