Answer:

  60 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the 140 refers to the number animals (heads, noses, bodies, whatever). If all of those were chickens, there would be 280 legs. There are 160 legs more than that.

Since each pig that replaces a chicken adds 2 legs, there must be 160/2 = 80 pigs. That leaves 140 -80 = 60 chickens.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the juice container that is the better buy, you have to find the one that has a lower cost per ounce by dividing the price of each juice container by the number of ounces it has:

64-ounce container: 6.50/64=0.10

48-ounce container: 4.25/48=0.08

According to this, the answer is that the juice container that is a better buy is the 48 ounce container because the price per ounce is lower.
