At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

52 young calves

Step-by-step explanation:

At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

The ration is given as:

adult milking cows to young calves

= 9 : 2

= 234 : x

= 9/2 = 234/x

x = Number of young calves

Cross Multiply

9 × x = 2 × 234

= x = 2 × 234/9

x = 468/9

x = 52

Hence, the number of young calves on the farm is 52.

the answer is two. hope this !
