Answer:

68 chickens and 12 cows.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of chicken and y represents the number of cows in the barnyard,

Given,

Total heads = 80

⇒ x + y = 80 ------(1),

Also, total legs = 184,

Since, a chicken has two legs and cow has 4 legs,

⇒ 2x + 4y = 184 -----(2),

Equation (2) - 2 × equation (1),

We get,

4y - 2y = 184 - 160

2y = 24

y = 12

From equation (1),

x + 12 = 80 ⇒ x = 80 - 12 = 68

Hence, the number of chicken = 68,

And, the number of cows = 12

sergey [27]
1. 5/6

2. 2/3 x 5/6

3. 2/3 x 5/6 = 10/18
Multiply the numerators— 2 x 5 = 10
Multiply the denominators—3x 6= 18

4. 10/18 = 5/9
Find the greatest common factor of 10 and 18 which is 2.
Divide the numerator by 2– 10/2 = 5
Divide the denominator by 2– 18/2 = 9

I hope this helps!
