4 to 5, 4/5, 4:5
assuming that all the horses are either white or grey ...
A herd of 52 horses has 12 white and some black horses what is the ratio of white to black horses
Solution please
To find the ratio of grey horses to all horses in the herd, you first need to determine the number of grey horses.
Given that the herd has 20 horses and 4 of them are white, subtracting the number of white horses from the total number of horses will give you the number of grey horses.
Number of grey horses = Total number of horses - Number of white horses
Number of grey horses = 20 - 4
Number of grey horses = 16
Now you can calculate the ratio of grey horses to all horses in the herd.
Ratio of grey horses to all horses = Number of grey horses / Total number of horses
Ratio of grey horses to all horses = 16 / 20
Ratio of grey horses to all horses = 4/5 or 0.8
Therefore, the ratio of grey horses to all horses in the herd is 4:5 or 0.8.
