So to start we need to divide 72 by 9 and you would get 8
Then multiply 2 by eight and you get 16

There are 16 horses.

Hope this helps!

Let the no. Of horses be x

9÷2 = 72÷x

X= 144÷9
No. Of horses = 16

How do you do this question

maxonik [38]

Answer:

I am not sure about the actual answer but hopefuly you figure this out

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of boys and girls you do 3+5 to get 8. 120 divided by 8 is 15. so every digit in the ratio is 15 students. 15x3 is 45 and 15x5 is 75. there are 45 girls and 75 boys. 16/25 of the boys go climbing. There are 75 boys so you do 16x3 because 25x3 is 75 so 16x3 is 48. 48 boys go climbing. 120-48 is 72. and 27 boys go sailing.
