15 pigs and 40 sheep

10 cows is equivalent to 2 parts of the ratio, hence

$\frac{10}{2}$ = 5 ← 1 part of the ratio, hence

8 parts = 8 × 5 = 40 ← number of sheep

3 parts = 3 × 5 = 15 ← number of pigs

Which best describe a vector

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Vectors are used to represent physical magnitudes that have an associated address.For example,if we want to represent the displacement of an object,it is not enough to describe only the distance as 10 meters, it is also necessary to describe in which direction the displacement occurred,for example,30°towards the northeast.

Hope this helps:)
