You can put this solution on YOUR website! oxen eat ( 1 field ) / ( 80 days ) ox eats ( 1 field ) / ( 15*80 days )
------------------------------------- cows eat ( 1 field ) / ( 80 days ) cow eats ( 1 field ) / ( 20*80 days )
-------------------------------------
Add their rates of eating to get their rate eating together
Let their rate eating together = ( 1 field ) / ( d days )
---------------------------------------------
Multiply both sides by
6 oxen and 2 cows eat 1 field of grass in 160 days
check:
Multiply both sides by
OK
