A farmer has the following animals on his farm: 20 goats, 18 cows, 10 sheep and 5 horses. How many horses are there less than cows? How many sheep are there more than goats?
To find the number of horses that are less than cows, we need to compare the number of horses with the number of cows. Similarly, to find the number of sheep that are more than goats, we need to compare the number of sheep with the number of goats.
1. To find the number of horses less than cows:
- First, determine the number of cows: 18 cows
- Next, determine the number of horses: 5 horses
- Subtract the number of horses from the number of cows: 18 cows - 5 horses
- The result will be the number of horses less than cows.
2. To find the number of sheep more than goats:
- First, determine the number of goats: 20 goats
- Next, determine the number of sheep: 10 sheep
- Subtract the number of goats from the number of sheep: 10 sheep - 20 goats
- The result will be the number of sheep more than goats.
Calculating the difference between two numbers will give us the answer to each question.
To determine how many horses are there less than cows, we need to subtract the number of horses from the number of cows.
There are 5 horses.
To find out how many sheep are there more than goats, we need to subtract the number of goats from the number of sheep.
There are 10 sheep.
18-5
hmmm. the sheep are less than goats. Still, 10-20
