If we assume that Ray and Lynn together are gathering ALL of their father's sheep, then in total they are gathering 21/21 sheep.
21 out of the 21 sheep.

So if Ray is getting 14 of those sheep,
Then Lynn is getting the remaining sheep, 21-14

The question says `some` of their father's sheep though,
so I'm not sure if we're portioning off `all` of the sheep.
The wording is kind of confusing :)
