What else can I help you with?
There is an unknown number of men and horses. After some time half of the men left. The total number of remaining legs of the men and horses equals 70. Can you find the number of horses?
There are 7 horses and 21 people. 7 horses would equal 28 legs and 21 people would equal 42 legs which all together would equal 70 legs. By the same token, there could also be 17 horses and 1 man, 16 horses and 3 men, etc. For a brain teaser if you want a definitive answer you must have left out a piece of information like maybe the ratio of men to horses. If there was originally one man for each horse and then half of the men left, you can solve it with the following formula: There were originally x number of men and x number of horses. Now there are 1/2 x number of men. So, there are 2(1/2 x) men's legs and 4 x horses' legs. 2 (1/2 x) + 4x = 70 x + 4x = 70 5x = 70 x = 14 There are now 14 horses (56 legs) and 7 men (14 legs).

If they were all horses you'd have 440 legs, so you're 184 legs "short", so you have half that number of chickens ie 92, leaving 18 horses. That's 92 x 2 and 18 x 4 legs, 184 + 72 = 256

On a farm there are horses and three legged cows there are total of 129 heads and 480 legs how many horses are on the farm?
Let's denote the number of horses as 'H' and the number of three-legged cows as 'C'. Each horse has one head and four legs, while each three-legged cow has one head and three legs. From the given information, we can form two equations: H + C = 129 (total number of heads) and 4H + 3C = 480 (total number of legs). By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can determine the number of horses on the farm.

On a farm there are horses and chickens there are total of 45 heads and 156 legs how many horses are on the farm?
Answer : 33 horses. Number of Horses (H) + Number of Chickens (C) = 45 therefore C = 45 - H There are 4H horse legs and 2C chicken legs so, 4H + 2C = 156 substituting for C gives :- 4H + 2(45 - H) = 156 4H + 90 - 2H = 156 2H = 156 - 90 = 66 H = 33 There are 33 horses (and 45 - 33 = 12 chickens)
