In a herd of x cattle, the ratio of the number of bulls to cow is 1:6. Find the number of bulls in terms of x.

1 answer

The ratio of bulls to cows is 1:6. This means that for every 1 bull, there are 6 cows.
So, the total ratio of bulls to cattle is 1:6+1 = 1:7.
Therefore, the number of bulls in terms of x is x/7.
