On a farm the number of cows and the number of sheep are in the ratio 6:5 the number of sheep and the number of pigs are in the ratio 2:1 the total number is 189 how many sheep are there on the farm?
Ratio 6 : 5 : 2.5 ( 6 + 5 + 2.5 = 13.5 )
189 / 13.5 = 14
Cows 6 * 14 = 84
Sheep 5 * 14 = 70
Pigs 2.5 * 14 = 35
