Answer 1

A: The Twelve Oaks farm has 14 sheep and 2 acres of land.

Explanation:

For every 7 sheep, there has to be one acre of land. In order for you to find how many sheep are needed for each acre, you would multiply the amount of acres and you should get the amount of sheep that farm holds.

A. 2 x 7 = 14 meaning there should be only 14 sheep at a farm that only has 2 acres of land.

B. 3 x 7 = 21 meaning there should be only 21 sheep at a farm that only has acres of land.

C. 6 x 7 = 42 meaning there should be only 42 sheep at a farm that only has 6 acres of land.

D. 2 x 7 = 14 meaning there should be only 14 sheep at a farm that only has 2 acres of land.
