Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5

ASAP PLEASE HELP An ostrich egg has a mass of 1.2 kg to the nearest tenth of a kilogram. Find the minimum and maximum possible m
katen-ka-za [31]

The maximum possible measurement is 1.25 Kg and the minimum possible measurement is 1.15 kg

<u>Solution:</u>

Given mass of an ostrich egg is 1.2 Kg

We have to find the minimum and maximum possible measurements to the nearest tenth of a kilogram

The greatest possible error in measurement nearest tenth of a kilogram, is a half a tenth of a kilogram which is:-

\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{20}

Now, the maximum value will be equal to calculated amount plus the error in measurement of value .i.e.

\text { Maximum value }=1.2+\frac{1}{20}=1.2+0.05=1.25

Now, the minimum value will be equal to calculated amount minus  the error in measurement of value .i.e.

\text { Minimum value }=1.2-\frac{1}{20}=1.2-0.05=1.15

Hence, maximum possible measurement is 1.25 Kg

And the minimum possible measurement is 1.15 kg
