Question

The ratio of the number of pigs to the number of horses in a farm is 2 to 2(2:3), if there are 24 horses, what is the number of pigs?

Answer 1

Ratio is from pigs to horses so:

Let no. of pigs be x

= 2:3 :: x:24

= 2/3 = x/24

= 2 × 24 = 3x

= 48/3 = x

= 16 = x

So the no. of pigs in farm - 16.

Answer 2

36

Step-by-step explanation:

2=24

24÷2=1

1=12

12*3=36
