Question

3/5 of the animals on a form are goats and the rest are sheep. Find the number of goats if there are 32 sheep on the farm.
3/5ths of the animals are goats, so sheep are 2/5ths of all animals. Then:
2x/5=32
Solve for x, then multiply by 3/5ths, or subtract 32 sheep from x, to get goats. ☺☺☺☺
