What is a fraction?
Fraction number consists of two parts one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.
We have:
it takes 2 goats and 3 cows 6 days to eat 2 acres of grass. it takes 6 goats and 5 cows 10 days to eat 8 acres of grass.
Number of days to eat 2 acres for 2 goats and 3 cows = 2/6
Number of days to eat 8 acres for 6 goats and 5 cows = 8/10
Now adding the fraction number of 2/6 and 8/10
[tex]\rm = \frac{2}{6}+ \frac{8}{10}[/tex]
= 68/60
= 15/17
Now the number of days is 15 days for the 17 acres.
Thus, the 15 days it takes for 8 goats and 8 cows to eat 17 acres of grass if it takes 2 goats and 3 cows 6 days to eat 2 acres of grass. it takes 6 goats and 5 cows 10 days to eat 8 acres of grass.
