In Mrs.Calrito's farm,the ration of goat to cow is 5:6. If there are 25 goats, how many many cows does she have?
[tex] \huge \mathtt \gray {SOLUTION : }[/tex]
Rewrite the given in fraction form. Then the given ratios become:
[tex] \tt \gray{ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{n} }[/tex]
Let's now solve for n
[tex] \tt \gray{5n = 6 \times 25}[/tex]
Multiply 25 by 6
[tex] \tt \gray{5n = 150}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex] \tt \gray{ \frac{5n}{5} = \frac{150}{5} }[/tex]
[tex] \tt \gray{150 \div 5 = { \boxed{ 30}}}[/tex]
- Thus, there are 30 cows in Mrs.Calrito's farm.
