3: A farmer keeps cows and pigs on his farm. The ratio of cows to pigs on the farm is 2:3 (a) What percentage of the animals on the farm are cows? (b) What percentage of the animals on the farm are pigs?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) 40% of the animals are cows.

(b) 60% of the animals are pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) You have to find the percent of the cows. 2:3 can be written as 2/5 for the cows and you have to figure out x/100.

2/5 = x/100

5*20 = 100

2*20 = x

40 = x

(b) The rest of the animals on the farm are pigs so you have to subtract 40 from 100 for the answer.

100-40 = y

60 = y
