On this farm there would be a total of 18 cows. There would also be 18 chickens, combining to make 36 heads and 104 legs.
The 2 monkeys each have 2 legs, so a total of 4 legs. The 4 pigs each have 4 legs, so a total of 16 legs. The 3 chickens each have 2 legs, so a total of 6 legs. In total, the monkeys, pigs, and chickens have 26 legs.
Chickens have always two legs, on any day of the week. Some chickens are disabled (having a injured leg or tendon) and kept by their owners, these are rare instances.
Let's denote the number of chickens as C and the number of rabbits as R. We can write two equations based on the given information: C + R = 72 (total number of heads) and 2C + 4R = 200 (total number of feet). Solving these equations simultaneously, we find there are 50 chickens and 22 rabbits in the cage.
C=chicken P=pig c+p= 56 2c+4p=160 c=56-p 112-2p+4p=160 2p=48 p=24 c=32 There are twenty-four pigs, thirty-two chickens. You really should do your own homework.
In commercial chicken operations, the long chicken houses hold thousands and thousands of birds; in broiler/ roaster programs there may be as many as 20,000 chickens in a chicken house. Backyard chickens are housed under more humane conditions and given about 3-4 square feet per bird if the chickens also free range; about 10 square feet should be allotted to each hen if they are confined to the house full time.
7 cows and 11 chickens. Cows have 4 legs. Chickens have 2 legs. (4 legs)(7 cows) + (2 legs)(11 chickens) = 50 legs. 7 cow heads = 11 chicken heads = 18 heads.
On a farm there are chickens and three-legged-cows. There are total of 49 heads and 130 legs. How many chickens are on the farm?
85 chickens
Suppose there are x chickens and y cows Then heads => x + y = 64 And Legs => 2x + 3y = 147 2*Heads: 2x +2y = 128 Subtract from Legs: 19 = y Substitute in Heads: x = 45 Answer: 45 chickens.
There are 42 chickens in the farm.
there are 36 horses and 23 chickens.........
35 pigs, 65 chickens
There are 7 pigs and 6 chickens.
48 chickens 1 pig
There are 61 horses and 10 chickens on the farm.
27
If all were horses there would be 428 legs. The shortfall of 36 legs represents 18 chickens so there are 89 horses.
