Given information
--------------------------------------
Total animals = 18
Total legs = 40

--------------------------------------
Assumed all are chickens
--------------------------------------
Total legs = 18 x 2 = 36

--------------------------------------
Calculate extra legs
--------------------------------------
40 - 36 = 4

--------------------------------------
Difference in legs between the cow and chicken
--------------------------------------
4 - 2 = 2

--------------------------------------
Find the number of cows
--------------------------------------
4 ÷ 2 = 2

--------------------------------------
Find the number of chickens
--------------------------------------
18 - 2 = 16

--------------------------------------
Answer: 16 chickens and 2 cows
