A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

On the farm, rather than use money, they exchange animals. The exchanges are as follows: 4 bunnies = 3 chickens, 5 chickens = 2
Radda [10]

We have to trade 5 bunnies for a donkey.

Solution:

To calculate how many bunnies could be exchanged for a donkey, we have to multiply the exchange rates of each animal/bird.

One bunny = 3/4 chickens (0.75 chicken),

One chicken = 2/5 pigs (0.4 pigs)

One pig = 2/3 donkeys (0.67 donkeys).

On multiplying all of the above rates we get,

0.75*0.4*0.67=0.2

Since we now know a bunnies worth is 0.2 donkey

Therefore, (1/0.2=5) 5 bunnies to trade for a donkey.
