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

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Grace wove a potholder with an area of 80 square inches. The lengths and widths of the sides are whole numbers. Which dimensions make the most sense for a potholder?

Since the Area of the potholder = 80 sq inch

And the dimension of the potholder ; length and width are integers ; Hence, possible dimensions could be ;

Area = length × width

80 = length × width

(80, 1), (40, 2), (20, 4), (10, 8), (16, 5)

Potholders are fabrics sewn from the purpose of being used to handle pots and other kitchen equipments.

Usually the dimension are usually close, hence, the most sensible dimension a potholder with an area of 80 sq inch could have is 8 by 10 or vice-versa.
