Let "rabbits" be represented by the variable "x"
and "chickens" be represented by the variable "y"

then in total we have 25 animals
so  x + y = 25
-> y = -x + 25
and since a rabbit has four legs and a chicken has two legs
and there are 80 legs in total
4x + 2y = 80
-> 2x + y = 40
-> y = -2x + 40

[I had solved for y for each equation]
and since we are looking for when  y = y
-x + 25 = -2x + 40   [we can solve for x from here]
x + 25 = 40     [added 2x to both sides]
x = 15  [subtracted 25 from both sides]

then we can plug this back into
y = -x + 25
to get  y = -15 + 25 = 10

therefore there are 15 Rabbits and 10 Chickens

I just kind of sat here playing with numbers i dont really know a shortcut but the answer is 10 chickens and 15 rabbits 
10*2= 20 each chicken has two legs so thats 10 heads 20 legs
15*4=60 each rabbit has four legs so thats 15 heads 60 legs
15+10=25 heads
20+60=60 legs

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

\text{Volume of display box}=216\text{ in}^3    

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Wren’s first display box is 6 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 4 inches high. We are asked to find the volume of display box.

We know that the box is in form of cuboid, so its volume would be length times width times height.

\text{Volume of display box}=6\text{ in}\times 9\text{ in}\times 4\text{ in}

\text{Volume of display box}=216\text{ in}^3

Therefore, the volume of the display box is 216 cubic inches.

Melanie wants to create a pattern using a transformation that will change the orientation of a figure but not the orientation of
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Rotations

Step-by-step explanation:

The orientation of the figure is how the whole shape appearance. You don't need to name vertice to determine the orientation of the figure. It will not change from translations and dilations, so these two are out of option.

The orientation of vertices, on the other hand, needs you to know the vertice name. It can be expressed as clockwise or counterclockwise. The orientation of vertice will be preserved for translations, rotations, and dilations so it should be one of them. Notice that translation and dilation already out of option so the answer will be rotations.

3/8 x 2/6 x 4/8 x 5/12
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

\frac{5}{192}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{8} * \frac{2}{6} * \frac{4}{8} * \frac{5}{12}

Multiply all numerators

3 * 2 * 4 * 5 = 6 * 20 = 120

Multiply all denominators

8 * 6 * 8 * 12 = 48 * 96 = 4,608

\frac{120}{4608}

Simplify

\frac{5}{192}

Hope this helps :)
