\n" ); document.write( "The given information is NOT insufficient, as the other tutor said....

\n" ); document.write( "4 goats can graze the field in 40 days; so it would take 1 goat 4*40 = 160 days.
\n" ); document.write( "So 1 goat grazes 1/160 of the field in 1 day.

\n" ); document.write( "It takes 6 sheep to graze the field in 40 days; so it would take 1 sheep 40*6 = 240 days.
\n" ); document.write( "So 1 sheep grazes 1/240 of the field in 1 day.

\n" ); document.write( "If there are 4 goats and 14 sheep, the fraction of the field grazed in 1 day is
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A%281%2F160%29+%2B+14%2A%281%2F240%29+=+12%2F480+%2B+28%2F480+=+40%2F480+=+1%2F12\"

\n" ); document.write( "Therefore it will take 12 days for 4 goats and 14 sheep to graze the field.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
