Answer 2

Answer:

Number of Goats = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of goats be = x

 Goats          Cows

   21                15

    x                 35

$\frac{21}{x} = \frac{15}{35}\\\\15 \times x = 21 \times 35\\\\x = \frac{21 \times 35}{15} = 7 \times 7 = 49$

49 goats eat as much as 35 cows.
