The answer is 16 because 16 is 2/3 of 24
It's not 8 because that's only 1/3
8:6, 16:12, 24:18 and more
Step-by-step explanation:
you just need to multiply 4x2 to get 8 and 3x2 to get 6 and then 8x2 to get 16 and 6x2 to get 12. You have to multiply the result by 2
hopes this helps :)
Horse = x = 1 head and 4 feet
Chicken =y = 1 head and 2 feet
Horse + chicken = x + y = 43 ( total heads)
Horse = 43 - y
4x + 2y = 122
4(43-y) + 2y = 122
Simplify:
172-4y + 2y = 122
Combine like terms
172-2y = 122
Subtract 172 from both sides
-2y = -50
Divide both sides by-2
Y = 25
X + y = 43
X + 25 = 43
X = 18
There are 18 horses and 25 chickens.
