Total Animals = 11
Total legs = 38

Assumed all the animals are chicken:
11 x 2 = 22 legs

Difference in legs:
38 - 22 = 16

The difference in legs between rabbits and chicken:
4 - 2 = 2 

Number of rabbits = 16 ÷ 2 = 8

Number of chicken = 11 - 8 = 3

Answer: There are 8 rabbits and 3 chickens.

Check: 
(8 x 4) + (3 x 2) = 38 legs

Jim wishes to buy 3 gifts that cost 15 dollars, 9 dollars, and 12 dollars. he has 1/4 of the money he needs, how much more money
Archy [21]
In order to solve this, you have to plug in all of the costs of the gifts and add them, which in all equals $36. since jim only has 1/4 of the money he needs to buy the gifts, you need to divide 36 by 4. this gives you 9, so now you know he has 9 dollars.
and to find out how much more money he needs, you can subtract 9 from 36 which represents a fourth of the required money. the answer is 27, that's how much jim needs in order to buy his gifts.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
