    The number of goats Peter will have is 12.

    What are ratios and proportions?

    An ordered pair of numbers a and b, represented as a / b, is a ratio if b is not equal to 0. A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value.
    Given that a farmer intends to share 32 goats amongst his sons john, peter, and Thomas in the ratio 1 : 3: 4 respectively.
    The number of the fractions will be calculated by assuming the common ratio as x. Then write an expression as below:-
    x + 3x + 4x = 32
    8x = 32
    x = 32 / 8
    x = 4
    Number of goats for Peter = 3x
    Number of goats for Peter = 3 x 4 = 12
    Therefore, the number of goats Peter will have is 12.
