Sagot :

Answer:

i think the sheep is 300 because 600 divide by 2 is 300.

Answer:

the answer is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve a ration problem set up the equation like this:

1/2 times x/600 and cross multiply

1/2 is the ratio 1:2 rewritten and the unknow is x over the total 600.

1 times 600 =600 and 2 times x is 2x

set = to each other

2x=600

divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 300
