A farmer has 7 pigs. He has twice as many goats as pigs. How many goats does he have?
What do you think?
he has 14 because 7+7=14 and 7x2=14 you could count on fingers counting seven 2 times and youll get 14
To find out how many goats the farmer has, we need to determine how many goats there are per pig. Since the farmer has twice as many goats as pigs, we'll divide the total number of goats by the number of pigs.
1. Start with the number of pigs the farmer has, which is 7.
2. Multiply the number of pigs by 2 to determine the number of goats.
7 pigs * 2 = 14 goats
So, the farmer has 14 goats.
