Final answer:
There are 85 pibs on farmer Vreel's coraz farm. This was determined by dividing 40 elentines by the ratio of 7 elentines, to find the number of groupings, and then multiplying the result by 15 to find the number of pibs.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many pibs are on farmer Vreel's coraz farm, we must use the ratio given. The problem states there are 7 elentines to every 15 pibs. So, if farmer Vreel has 40 elentines, we need to find out how many times 40 elentines contain the 7 elentines from the ratio. This can be done by dividing 40 by 7, which will give us the number of groupings of pibs that correspond to the elentines. That number is then multiplied by 15 to find out how many pibs there are:
- Calculate the number of groupings: 40 elentines / 7 elentines per grouping = approximately 5.71 groupings.
- Multiply by the number of pibs per grouping: 5.71 groupings * 15 pibs per grouping = 85.71 pibs.
However, since we can't have a fraction of a pib, and assuming pibs cannot be fractional, we would round down to the nearest whole number since farmer Vreel cannot have 0.71 of a pib.
Therefore, farmer Vreel has 85 pibs on his coraz farm.
