Answer 1

To find the ratio of cows to horses, we need to divide the number of cows by the number of horses.

Cows : Horses

15 : 10

Since both 15 and 10 are divisible by 5, we can simplify the ratio by dividing both numbers by 5.

15 ÷ 5 = 3
10 ÷ 5 = 2

So, the simplified ratio of cows to horses on Monday is 3:2.
