Flint, the farmer had 12 sheep. At night 5 ran away, and in the morning 2 got eaten. the very next day 2 of the sheep that ran away came back.. How many sheep does flint have left?

Answer 1

Flint initially had 12 sheep. Here's the breakdown:

• At night, 5 sheep ran away: \(12 - 5 = 7\)
• In the morning, 2 sheep got eaten: \(7 - 2 = 5\)
• The next day, 2 sheep that had run away came back: \(5 + 2 = 7\)

So, Flint has 7 sheep left.
