Question

There are 1116 legs between cows and goats. There are twice as many cows as goats how many goats are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of of goat are 93 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The number of legs between cows and goat = 1116

There are twice as many cows as goats

let The number of cows = C

And The number of goat = G

According to question

The number of cows = 2 ×  The number of goat

or, C = 2 × G

∵ The number of legs does cow has 4

And The number of legs does goat has 4

So, 4 × C + 4 × G = 1116

∵ C = 2 × G

∴  4 ×  2 × G + 4 × G = 1116

or, 8 G + 4 G = 1116

or, 12 G = 1116

∴  G = $\frac{1116}{12}$ = 93

I.e Number of Goat = G = 93

Put the value of G in

 C =  2 × G

I.e C = 2 × 93 = 186

Or Number of cow = C = 186

Hence The number of of goat are 93 . Answer
