Farmer Freddie is checking on the animals in his field.he knows that the ratio of sheeps to cows is 2:3.if he counts 50 sheeps , how many cows should be there be in the field

Answer 1

To use ratios to find how many cows there should be in the field, we first need to find the equivalent ratio of sheeps to cows when the ratio is 2:3.

To do this, we can set up a proportion:

2/3 = 50/x

Where x represents the number of cows in the field.

We can cross-multiply to solve for x:

2x = 150

x = 75

Therefore, there should be 75 cows in the field.
