Answer:
There were 8 cows and 12 horses at a farm. 5 horses ran away. How many horses were left?
7 because it's not saying anything about cows. Only that there are 8 so if there were 12 horses and 5 ran away, 12-5=7 because there were 12 horses at a farm and 5 ran away so that would equal 7
Therefore, The answer is 7.
