Ducks have 1 head, 2 feet.

Cows have 1 head, 4 feet.

That means there are 1414 animals in total.

Now let's make an equation.

1414 = 2x + 4x

1414 = total animals
2x = duck feet
4x = cow feet
2x and 4x = feet #

and let's solve that equation

1414 = 2x + 4x
1414 = 6x
  /6        /6
  235 = x
(apx.)

Ducks = 2x = 2(235) = 470
Cows = 4x = 4(235) = 940

940 + 470 = 1410.

Since there is a remainder of 4, it can be said that 1 animal with 4 legs will complete this (1414). However, it can also be said that 2 animals with 2 legs will complete this too. So.

Combination 1:
Cows = 941
Chickens = 470

Combination 2:
Cows = 940
Chickens = 472

Choose the set of equivalent fractions that correctly uses the LCD for these fractions 3/4 and 1/6
valina [46]

Answer: 9/12, 2/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing multiples of 6 and 4

4: 4, 8, 12

6: 6, 12, 18

Did you see the multiple that both numbers have? Yup, it's 12. So that has to be your denominator for both fractions. This is because you have to have the <u>LEAST</u> COMMON Denominator (LCD). So both numbers have 12 in common as one of their multiples and, it's the least common one because there are no numbers that come before it that are common for both numbers. Now, you just have to change the denominators of both fractions into 12. To do that to 3/4, just multiply the top and bottom by 3 to get 9/12. To do that to 1/6, just multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/12.  Hope this helps!

NOTE: REMEBER THAT WHATEVER YOU DO TO THE TOP OF A FRACTION, YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO THE BOTTOM TOO (AND VICE VERSA)
