Question

What is the ratio of the number of beaks to the number of legs the chickens and the sheep have on this farm?

Number of Chickens Number of Sheep
8 14

Answer 1

1 to 9

because 1 chicken has 1 beak so the ratio of beaks is 8

1 sheep has 4 legs while 1 chicken has 2 legs

therefore multiply 4legs by 14 =56 then multiply 2 legs by 8=16

Beaks Legs

8. 72

1. 9

th ratio is therefore 1 : 9
