First you should add all of the animals together.

Answer:

3/14

Explanation:

Since we are given specific value for horses,pigs and cows to be 4,3,7 respectively

And we are to find the probability for pigs

So let's add all the given variables together

4+3+7=14

So to find the probability for pigs

3/14

Since the two cannot be divided, therefore the final answer is 3/14
