Respuesta :
There are 60 brown horses and 40 black horses and 20 spotted horses
Solution:
Given that there are 120 horses on a farm
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the horses are brown
Number of brown horses are:
Therefore, 1/2 of total number of horses are brown
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 120
[tex]\text{ brown horses } = \frac{1}{2} \text{ of } 120\\\\\text{ brown horses } = \frac{1}{2} \times 120\\\\\text{ brown horses } = 60[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the horses are black
Number of black horses are:
Therefore, 1/3 of total number of horses are black
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of 120
[tex]\text{ Black horses } = \frac{1}{3} \text{ of } 120\\\\\text{ Black horses } = \frac{1}{3} \times 120\\\\\text{ Black horses } = 40[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of the horses are spotted
Number of spotted horses:
Therefore, 1/6 of total number of horses are spotted
[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of 120
[tex]\text{ Spotted horses } = \frac{1}{6} \times 120 = 20[/tex]
Thus there are 60 brown horses and 40 black horses and 20 spotted horses
