Question

The ratio of cows to chickens is 6:5. If there are 30 cows on the farm how many chickens will there be?

Answer 1

Given:

Ratio of cow to chicken is 6:5.

The nunmber of cows is 30.

The objective is to find the number of chickens.

Consider the number of cows and chicken as 6x and 5x.

The value of x can be calculated as,

$\begin{gathered} 6x=30 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

Now, substitute the value of x to find the number of chicken.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Number of ch}icken=5x \\ =5(5) \\ =25 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the number of chicken will be 25.
