The ratio of cattle to horses on the ranch was 12 to 3. The combined number of cattle and horses was 960. How many horses are on the ranch?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 192 horses in the ranch

Explanation:

The combined number of cattle and horses = 960.

Ratio of cattle to horses =12 :3

Number of horses on the ranch = ratio of horse / Total ratio x total number of horses and cattle

3/15 x 960 = 192

Therefore there are 192 horses in the ranch
