Question

An extremely handsome math teacher was on a farm and he counted 32 animals; all pigs and chickens. Then he counted the number of feet. The total was 88. Find the number of pigs and the number of chickens. (Hint: You need to take the number of legs each animal has into consideration.)

15 pigs and 17 chickens

12 pigs and 20 chickens

20 pigs and 12 chickens

22 pigs and 10 chickens

Answer 1

Answer:

12 pigs and 20 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Chicken = 2 legs

Pig = 4 legs

(15 * 4) + (17 * 2) = 88                          NO

(12 * 4) + (20 * 2) = 88                         Yes, and 12 + 20 = 32
