A farm has 60 cows, pigs, and horses. There are 4 times as many cows and pigs as horses. How many horses are there?

you would have 24 cows, 24 pigs, and 12 horses.

Let's set up an equation to solve this problem.

Let's assume the number of horses is x.
The number of cows and pigs is 4 times the number of horses, so it would be 4x in total.
The total number of cows, pigs, and horses is 60, so we can set up the equation:

x + 4x = 60

Adding up the x's on the left side of the equation:

5x = 60

To isolate x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 5:

5x/5 = 60/5

Simplifying:

x = 12

Therefore, there are 12 horses on the farm.

To find the number of horses, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's denote the number of horses as "h".

The total number of cows, pigs, and horses is 60, so we can write the equation as follows:

h + 4h = 60

Combining like terms, we can simplify the equation:

5h = 60

To solve for h, we isolate h by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:

5h/5 = 60/5

h = 12

Therefore, there are 12 horses on the farm.
