C=chicken
p=pigs
c+p=13~p=13-c (plug in)
2c+4p=40
2c+4(13-c)=40
2c+52-4c=40
-2c=-12
c=6
6+p=13
p=7
6 chickens
7 pigs

Let p = pigs 
and c = chickens 

p + c = 13  ( this is the total number of animals in the barn) 

chicken have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs 
2c + 4p = 40  ( this is the equation for the total number of legs) 

now lets solve for one variable using the first equation 

p+c = 13
p = 13 -c 

now lets plug that in the 2nd equation
 
2c+4p = 40
2c + 4(13-c) = 40 
2c + 52 - 4c = 40 
now we reduce

-2c = -12

c = 6 
so there are 6 chickens now lets find how many pigs there are by plugging into our first equation

p+6 = 13
p = 7 

so there are 6 chickens and 7 pigs

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that there are two scale models with each of ratio of 1/2 and 1/16 respectively.

For the first model, the dimension will be as follows:

Length/2 by width/2

94/2 by 50/2 = 47 feet by 25 feet.

For the second model, the dimension will be as follows:

Length/16 by width/16

The dimensions of the second model is 94/16 by 50/16 = 5.875 feet by 3.125 feet.

Since we are to solve for the area of the smallest scale model which is

5.875 feet by 3.125 feet.

Hence, area (A) = L× W

=5.875 × 3.125 feet.

= 18.359ft^2
