the ratio of horses to chickens on a farm is 9:4. If there are a total of 169 animals, how many chickens are on the farm?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

<h2> 52 chickens</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given

we are told that the total number of animals is 169

the ratio of horses to chickens= 9:4

total ratio= 13

Required:

number of chickens

Applying part to all principle, let the number of chickens be x

4/13=x/169

cross multiply

4*169=13*x

divide both sides by 13

x=4*169/13

x=676/13

x=52

There are 52 chickens
