The ratio between the number of sheep and the number of horses at the Stewar farm is 4 to 7. If each of horse is fed 230 ounces of horse food per day and the farm needs a total 12880 ounces of horse food per day. what is number sheep in the form??
option
a)18
b)28
c)32
d)56

• let no of sheep and horses are 4k and 7k
  no of horses= 12880/230=56
  now 7K=56 and k=8
  no of sheep=(4*8) =32 (c)ans

• 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

• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(7)
• 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).
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
• 12880/230=56=no of hoses
  then 7=56
  4=?
  hence 4=32
  so no of sheep=32

• 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
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• let 4x be sheep and 7x be horse
  1horse req 230 and total 12880
  so 7x * 230=12880 => x=8
  8*4=32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 12800=230*7=8
  therfore 4x=4*8=32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• Number of horse=12880/230=56
  ratio=4:7
  =4x:56
  =4*8
  ans=32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 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
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• 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.
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• ratio=4x:7x
  7x(230)=12880
  x=8
  4x=32
  option c
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
• ratio =4:7
  no, of horses=12880/230=56
  no.of sheep=(4/7)*56=32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Let Number of sheep and horses are 4x and 7x
  Number of horses= 12880/230=56
  7x=56 and x=8
  Number of sheep=(4*x)=(4*8) =32
  so,Ans-C

• 32;;12880/230=56 then go to ratio and finding the value
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 32 is the ans
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• total horse=(12880/230)=56
  according to ratio 4:7, sheep=(4/7)*56=32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• no. of sheep= 32
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 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
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 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

• ans->32
  as total no of horse=12880/230=56
  7x=56
  x=8
  sheep=8*4=32
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 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
