Question

To keep his farm working well, Farmer Brown likes to keep the

ratio of cows to pigs to chickens 8: 3: 19. If there are a total of
1680 animals on his farm, how many cows are there?
A. 56
B. 445
O. 210
D. 16

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We can first start by adding 8+3+19. This gives us 30. Now we divide 1680/30 which gives us 56.

Since in the ratio the number used for cows is 8, we can multiply 56 by 8 to get the amount of cows.

56*8=448 cows.

I think the answer on the question is wrong, but the closest is B so choose that.
