A farmer shares some cows between his two sons. Aliyu and Madaki in the ratio 6:5.Aliyu gets 30 cows. How many cows does Madaki get?
To find the number of cows Madaki gets, we need to set up a proportion using the ratio given.
The ratio of cows shared between Aliyu and Madaki is 6:5.
Let x be the number of cows Madaki gets.
So, 6/5 = 30/x.
Cross-multiplying, we get 6x = 5 * 30.
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get 6x = 150.
Dividing both sides by 6, we find x = 150/6.
Therefore, Madaki gets 25 cows.
