In a herd of x cattle, the ratio of the number of bulls to cow is 1:6. Find the number of bulls in terms of x.
The ratio of bulls to cows is 1:6. This means that for every 1 bull, there are 6 cows.
So, the total ratio of bulls to cattle is 1:6+1 = 1:7.
Therefore, the number of bulls in terms of x is x/7.
Given that the ratio of the number of bulls to cows in the herd is 1:6, we can set up the following equation:
1/6 = x/number of bulls.
To find the number of bulls in terms of x, we can cross multiply:
1 * number of bulls = 6 * x.
Simplifying, we have:
number of bulls = 6x.
Therefore, the number of bulls in terms of x is 6x.
