Answer:
Ratio of number of chicken to the total number of animals =
5: 8
Now, the number of chicken = 25 which is 5×5 .
So, 5×5 : 8×5
= 25: 40
The number of total animals on the farm will be 40.
Now, we have to calculate the number of goats.
Total animals = no of chicken + no of sheep + no of goats.
40 = 25+9+ no of goats
40 = 34 + no of goats
40 - 34 = no of goats
No of goats = 6
