I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!
We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:
p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)
We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270
I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:
2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70
Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35
Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:
c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65
There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens

Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total length of ribbon lucy has=4 inches
She wants to divide it into 6 equal sized pieces so
Length of each piece=4/6
This can also be written as:
Length of each piece=4*(1/6
)
Now we will look at the options one by one:
For A, Each piece has 6/4 inches of ribbon.. This statement is not true as we have to divide 4 inches into 6 pieces so 4 is supposed to be in the numerator.
For B, breaking down 4/6 gives us 4*(1/6), so the statement is not true.
For C , as we can see that the expression is 4*(1/6), each piece will have 1/6 of inches of ribbon.
So option C is the correct answer..
