Answer 2

Answer:

Ron has 40 cattle.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ron has 30 acres of grazing land for his cattle.

Each cattle requires $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of an acre.

Let us consider n number of cattle.

Total land graze by cattle = $\dfrac{3n}{4}$

This should be less than equal to 30

We get an equation

$\dfrac{3n}{4}\leq 30$

Solve for n

$3x\leq 4\times 30$

$x \leq 40$

Hence, Ron has 40 cattle.
