Question

In a different field

the number of pigs : the number of goats = 11 : 2
If there are 12 goats in the field, how many pigs are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 66 goats

Explanation:

The ratio of pigs to goats is 11:2. We can say that there are 11x pigs and 2x goats, with x being the scale at which the ratio is reduced by. 2x is 12, as given by the problem, so x is 6. 11x will be 66, so there are 66 goats.
