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

Sheila is baking a few cakes for the bake sale for her school. Each cake requires 2 ½ cups of sugar. How many cakes can she bake
Ber [7]

Answer:

The answer is 2 cakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

-Each cake requires 2 1/2 cups of sugar.

-Sheila has 7 1/3 cups of sugar.

What we need to know:

-How many cakes can Sheila make with 7 1/3 cups of sugar.

Remember:

-You must make a whole cake.

Show your work:

-I am going to convert the fraction into a decimal.

-2 1/2=2.5 and 7 1/3=7.3

-2 cakes will require 5 cups of sugar and you will remain with 2.3 cups of sugar.

-You <em>cannot </em>use 2.3 cups of sugar to make a cake. It must be in full.
