the farmer had 15 animals in the farm, and if all but 9 sheep died then 9 sheep would be left, equaling 9 animals in total.
Nine, because if all but nine die, then that means there are still nine left alive. The wording of this type of riddle often fools the mind.
8 don't die..so 8 are left!
9 sheep
9!
9
9
If you read the question carefully, it clearly states ALL BUT 8 die. So, if 9 cows died, the farmer has 8 cows left.
8 DUHHHH
18 cows and 23 hens
To find the answer that there are five more crows than cows in the farmer's field you need to know how many animal legs are in the field. The complete problem is, "there is a total of 52 legs of all of the animals. How many cows and how many crows are in the field?"
As many as he can feed...Most farmer have as many cattle as possible, it all depends on how much grazing he has available for his cattle.
Cattleman or cattlewoman. Not farmer because not all farmers have cows, and it wouldn't be "producer" either because we're talking about someone who works with cows, not owns them.
8 cows (They all have 2 legs)
The farmer has eight cows, since all but that many died.
