Question

the ratio of pigs to cows at the farm is 16:2. If the total number of animals is 72. How many pigs are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 64 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

pigs: cows: total

16            2   16+2

16          2         18

There are 72 animals

72 /18 = 4

Multiply each number by 4

pigs: cows: total

16*4     2*4     18*4

64         8        72

There are 64 pigs
