Question

Mr pilgrim has a turkey farm. He has one male for every 17 female turkeys. If he has 289 females, how many male turkeys does he have

Answer 1

To determine the number of male turkeys Mr. Pilgrim has on his farm, divide the number of female turkeys by the ratio of females to males, which is 17. The answer is 17 male turkeys.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of male turkeys Mr. Pilgrim has, we need to divide the number of female turkeys by the ratio of females to males:

Number of male turkeys = Number of female turkeys / Ratio of females to males

Let's calculate:

1. Number of male turkeys = 289 / 17
2. Number of male turkeys = 17

Therefore, Mr. Pilgrim has 17 male turkeys.
