Answer:

52 young calves

Step-by-step explanation:

At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

The ration is given as:

adult milking cows to young calves

= 9 : 2

= 234 : x

= 9/2 = 234/x

x = Number of young calves

Cross Multiply

9 × x = 2 × 234

= x = 2 × 234/9

x = 468/9

x = 52

Hence, the number of young calves on the farm is 52.

The numbers of blue, red, green and black pencils are proportional to the numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7, respectively. If we add the nu
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

  20 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.

The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.

_____

If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...

  (7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12

  3k = 12 . . . . simplify

  k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3

  5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils
