Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1: 9:18:27

Part 2: 28:42:84

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

54 pigs are split into the ratio 1:2:3. Treating a "1" ratio as x, we have x:2x:3x is 54 pigs. We can add up all parts of the ratio to become the whole. x+2x+3x=54. Solving, x=9. Substituting, our ratio is 9:18:27.

Part 2:

Similar to part 1, we treat a "1" ratio as y. Our ratio is 2y:3y:6y for a total of 154 chickens. Adding all the parts, we have 2y+3y+6y=154, so y=14. Substituting, our ratio is 28:42:84.
