Question

the ratio of black horses to white horses

Answer 1

To find the number of black horses in the herd, we can subtract the number of white horses from the total number of horses.

Given:

• Total horses = 78
• White horses = 43

Number of black horses = Total horses - White horses Number of black horses = 78 - 43 = 35

Now, we can find the ratio of black horses to white horses:

Ratio of black horses to white horses = Number of black horses : Number of white horses Ratio = 35 : 43

Thus, the ratio of black horses to white horses is 35:43.
