    Let

    d = the total number of dairy cattle

    b = the total number of beef cattle

    2/3 of the dairy cattle on a farm are in the barn, and we know that 24 dairy cattle are in the barn thus:

    (2/3) d = 24

    d = 36 dairy cattle

    1/4 of the beef cattle are in the barn and there are 16 beef cattle in the barn thus:

    (1/4) b = 16

    b = 64 beef cattle

    64 - 36 = 28

    There are 28 more beef cattle on the farm than dairy cattle.
