Answer:

There are 25 chickens and 20 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of chickens

y ----> the number of rabbits

Remember that

1 chicken has two legs

1 rabbit has four legs

so

2x+4y=130 -------> equation A

x=y+5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(y+5)+4y=130

2y+10+4y=130

6y=120

y=20 rabbits

Find the value of x

x=y+5

x=20+5=25 chickens

Which is greater 1/9 or 1/8
Sladkaya [172]
1/8 is greater than 1/9 , because 1 is being divided by a smaller number and hence the result would be bigger than when that same 1 is divided by a bigger number as 9.

OR

1/9           1/8            Cross Multiply

8*1            9*1

8                9

8      <        9

Implies that  1/9 is less than 1/8 and hence 1/8 is greater than 1/9.  
 

OR

Use your calculator and convert both to decimal

1/9            1/8

0.111..        0.125

You can see that 1/8 is greater than 1/9.
