Question

On a farm that only raises horses and cow, the ratio of horses to cows is 26:22. What fraction of livestock are horses?

Answer 1

`\bf \cfrac{horses}{cows}\qquad 26:22\implies \cfrac{26}{22}\qquad \cfrac{26}{26+22}\implies \cfrac{26}{48}\implies \stackrel{\textit{horses of total}}{\cfrac{13}{24}}`
