Answer: a.) 72 of each type of animal, for a total of 216

b.) 16 grown cats, 4 kittens

Step-by-step explanation:

part a. It's a distribution (division) problem. The same number of each animal is distributed over some unknown number of troughs, but the total number of troughs adds up to 69. ( I hate to give this all away, as its a brilliant problem! )

Number of troughs for each animal type is How many needed by the number of animals per trough:

h/2 + c/3 + p/8 = 69  

Since we are given "the same number of horses, cows and pigs" we can substitute "x" for all.

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{8} = 69    Get a common denominator. 24 would work, 48 also.

48(\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{8} ) = 48(69)

24x + 16x + 6x = 3372

46x = 3372    x = 72

Proof:  calculate the number of each kind of trough

Horses 72/2 = 36, Cows 72/3 = 24  Pigs 72/8 = 9    36+24+9 = 69

part b.  5c + 3k = 92,   c + k = 20  Rearrange to get a value for c to substitute.

c = 20-k   5(20-k) +3k =92  Distribute and solve

100 - 5k + 3k = 92 becomes -2k = -8  so  k = 4 Substitute into the original

c + 4 = 20  becomes c=20-4,  so c = 16

Proof: 5c +3k = 92 Substitute values 5(16) + 3(4) = 92  80 + 12 = 92

How do you use the pythagoreum theorum again? i know the formula is a^2+b^2=c^2 but how do you use it. Use the example 15^2+20^2
kiruha [24]
It would be 225+400=c^2. square both sides to result in 25.

4 7/8 + (-6 1/4) how do I find common denominators?
kap26 [50]
Find a number that both of the denominates make the same number for example if one denominator is 1/7 and the other is 2/6 then you

2/6 * 7 = 14 over 42 then the other one would be 1/7 *6 which would be 6 over 42 you find common denominators by finding a number both of the bottom ones can equal. hope this helps
