There are ? more beef cattle on the farm than dairy cattle.

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 28 more beef cattle on the farm than dairy cattle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  d = the total number of dairy cattle

b = the total number of beef cattle

2/3 of the dairy cattle on a farm are in the barn, and we know that 24 dairy cattle are in the barn thus:

(2/3)d = 24

d = 36 dairy cattle

1/4 of the beef cattle are in the barn and there are 16 beef cattle in the barn thus:

(1/4)b = 16

b = 64 beef cattle

64 - 36 = 28

There are 28 more beef cattle on the farm than dairy cattle.

Answer:

28 more beef cattle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 16*4 since 1/4 = 16 beef cattle. 16*4=64 total beef cattle on the farm.

Then do if there are 24 dairy cattle in the barn and that is 2/3 of all the cows.

1/3 = 12 so the total number of dairy cows on the farm is 12*3=36

Now subtract 64-36=28

There are 28 more beef cattle than dairy cows.

Hope this Helps!!
