Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.

A kilometer is 1000 meters. Divide the length of the markers by 1000 (16/1000) and you get the answer of .016 kilometers.
Translate this statement into an equation.
16 cm = (1/4)d + 2.5 cm
64 cm = d + 10
54 cm = d (answer)
