In a herd of x cattle, the ratio of the number of bulls to cows is 1:6. Find the number of bulls in the herd in terms of x.
The answer is 1+6= 7
So 1 is bull
No. Of bull = 1/7x
I hope it helps :)
1+6 = 7
so bulls = 1/7 x
and cows = 6/7 x
so here the total of 1 ratio 6 is 7 in the question it says there is one bull and the total is 7 so bull= 1/7 cows=6/7
In herd of X cattle the ratio of the bull to cow is 1 : 10. Find the number of bull in terms of X.
The total number of parts in the ratio is 1+10=11.
Therefore, the ratio of bulls to the total number of cattle is 1/11.
So, the number of bulls in terms of X is (1/11)X.
John does a map of his village from every 2 km on the ground , he used 1 cm on his map. How far is Mondia from silma on his map. If the two village are 5 km apart?
Since John used a scale of 1 cm to represent 2 km on his map, we have a scale factor of:
2 km = 1 cm
To find the distance between Mondia and Silma on John's map, we can use a proportion:
2 km / 1 cm = 5 km / x
where x is the distance between Mondia and Silma on the map. We can solve for x as follows:
2 km / 1 cm = 5 km / x
2x = 5 cm
x = 5 cm / 2
x = 2.5 cm
Therefore, the distance between Mondia and Silma on John's map is 2.5 cm.
A map has scale of 1 : 50000. Two towers are 5.2 km apart. How many cm on the map is this?
The scale of the map is 1 : 50000, which means that 1 cm on the map represents 50000 cm or 500 m on the ground.
To find out how many cm on the map is the 5.2 km distance between the towers, we need to convert it to meters:
5.2 km = 5200 m
Then we can use the scale to set up a proportion:
1 cm / 500 m = x cm / 5200 m
where x is the number of cm on the map that represents the distance between the towers. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
1 * 5200 = 500 * x
5200 = 500x
x = 10.4 cm
Therefore, the distance of 5.2 km between the towers on the map is equivalent to 10.4 cm.
