In a goat farm, the ratio of the number of goats which give milk to the number of goats which don’t is 6 : 2. The number of goat which don’t give milk is 160. How many goats do give milk? And how many goats are there in all?

Answer»

Ratio of the number of goat which give milk to the number of goat which don’t = 6 : 2

We have to find how many times the number of goat which don’t give milk is the number of goats which give milk is \(\frac{6}{2}\) times that the number of goats which don’t give milk.

Therefore the number of goats which give milk \(160\times\frac{6}{2}=480\)

Total number of goats = 160 + 480 = 640
