The ratio of sheep : horse = 4:7
Let's take no of sheep = 4x & horses = 7x
Each horse is fed 230 ounces of food.
Total horse food needed = 12880 ounces
No of horses = \(\frac{12880}{230}\) = 56
Now no of horses = 7x = 56
So \(x=8\)
No of sheep = 4x = 4*8 = 32
Answer C
Let's take no of sheep = 4x & horses = 7x
Each horse is fed 230 ounces of food.
Total horse food needed = 12880 ounces
No of horses = \(\frac{12880}{230}\) = 56
Now no of horses = 7x = 56
So \(x=8\)
No of sheep = 4x = 4*8 = 32
Answer C
