Answer:
Q 1)
a) No of sheep = 480
b) 8 : 11
c) 11 : 3
Q 2)
Each person will receive: $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of sheep to cattle = 8 : 3
Let the number of sheep be 8x
And number of cattle be 3x
a)
No of cattle = 180 (Given)
Therefore,
3x = 180
x = 180/3
x = 60
Therefore, 8x = 8*60 = 480
No of sheep = 480
b)
Total animals = 180 + 480 = 660
Ratio of sheep to the total number of animals
= 480 : 660
= 8 : 11
c)
Ratio of total animals to the number of cattle
= 660 : 180
= 11 : 3
Q 2) Let each person will receive 4x, 3x and 2x dollars.
Therefore,
4x + 3x + 2x = 810,000
9x = 810000
x = 810000/9
x = 90,000
Therefore,
4x = 4*90,000 = $360,000
3x = 3*90,000 = $270,000
2x = 2*90,000 = $180,000
So, each person will receive $360,000, $270,000 and $180,000.
