Answer:

16 pigs

Explanation:

Let the horses be H.

Let the pigs be P

Let the total number of animals be x.

Given the following data;

Ratio of P to H = 2:3 = 2 + 3 = 5

Number of horses = 24

To find the number of pigs;

First of all, we would determine the total number of animals x.

From the ratio of horse, H:

3/5 * x = 24

Cross-multiplying, we have;

3x = 120

x = 120/3 = 40

Next, we find the number of pigs;

Pigs = 2/5 * 40

Pigs = 80/5 = 16 pigs
