It's a really interesting question, because it tricks the brain. When my teacher gave me this question, I was puzzled. The answer is 15 because you are asking how many sheep are left. The answer is in the question saying that all but 15 die. Meaning that 5 die because there were 20 to start off with. So the answer is 15. Nice Question!
5 sheep died so that leaves 15 sheep alive.
2 sheep 28dead sheep
2 live sheep and 28 dead sheep.
May be "Wolf"... lol!
5
28
30-2=28
Ans:28
Uhhhh... 9 DUH
The farmer has eight cows, since all but that many died.
a riddle is a sort of joke kind of longer and a bit more trickier....4 example, if a farmer had 20 sheep and lightning struck all but 7 of them how much is left,,,, many of you will say 13 but remember it killed ALL *But* 7 SO 7 IS LEFT Rosalee was here :} fyi: I fixed the grammar :}
One - he put them all together!
In grammar, voice refers to active or passive. In active voice, the subject of the sentence performs an action and the direct object object receives the action. "The farmer sharpened his hoe." "Farmer" is the subject, and "hoe" is the direct object. In passive voice, the subject is the person or thing that receives the action. "The hoe was sharpened by the farmer."
First of all you step your tight feet to the left and that's all
15 left.
9.
nine because all but nine died
None , because it was quoted in the question ' A farmer " had" 25 sheep '
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.

Seven.
9 live and the rest die look at the question carefully and you'll find the answer.
9.If a farmer had 17 sheep in total, and all but nine died, then the answer to this riddle would be nine, since it states that all but nine have perished. It does not state that "nine died" because it has the key word "but" in it - that will often throw the riddled person off if he or she is not listening to the riddler, thinking that nine died, not eight, which is what occurred.
