Fairlin Jenefa  (8 years ago) Best Solution

ratio of sheep: horse= 4x:7x
1 horse = 230
for 7 horse = 230*7
x=12880/230*7
x=8
no of sheep = 4x=4*8=32

Given that,
Ratio between Sheep and Horse is 4:7
Each Horse consumes 230 ounces/day
Total amount of food taken by horses per day is 12880 ounces.
Let us assume, no of horses is x
therefore, 7x*230=12880
x=12880/(230*7)
x=8
By substituting we get,
No of horses=7*x => 7*8=56
No of Sheeps=4*x => 4*8=32
So, the answer is c

total horse food per day=12880..
no of horse=(total horse food per day/consumption of each horse per day)=56
let sheep b x..
4/7=X/56.
X=32.(c).

Lakshmi gudugunuri  (8 years ago)

12880/230=56=no of hoses
then 7=56
4=?
hence 4=32
so no of sheep=32

Vignesh S  (8 years ago)

total horses
12880/230 ==56 horses
ratio 4 to 7 == 4/11 Sheeps and 7/11 Horses
7/11 of X=56
X=88
4/11 of X==(4/11)*88==32 Sheeps

sandeep sahu  (8 years ago)

let 4x be sheep and 7x be horse
1horse req 230 and total 12880
so 7x * 230=12880 => x=8
8*4=32

jenula sai krishna  (8 years ago)

sheep is to horses are 4 to 7
this means 1 horse=230
x horses=12880
x=12880/230=56
56/7=8
8*4=32
so ans is 32

Mohit Kumar  (8 years ago)

32
number of total horses=12880/230=56
a/q horses are 1/7 part i.e
56/7=8
so number of total sheeps in the form is 8*4=32.

siddesh km  (7 years ago)

each horse is fed 230 ounces per day
therefore to find no of horses 12880/230=56
4:7 ratio is given to make horses as 56 we have to multiply 7 with 8 and als 4 with 8
i.e 4*8:7*8 hence total sheep are 32

vamsi Krishna  (7 years ago)

Total no of horses=(Total food)/(food for each horse)
=12880/230
=56(No of horses)
Given ratio
h(7)...........56
S(4)..........?
by cross multiplying we get
=(56*4)/7
=32

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

kirti  (6 years ago)

Prachi sohani  (4 years ago)

32
let there are 4x sheep and 7x horses.
so 1 horse requires=230 ounces of horse food.
total horse food=12880ounces
so,
7x*230=12880
x=8
therefore no of sheep=4x=4*8=32

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

satya  (4 years ago)
