To solve this problem, let us first assign some
variables. Let us say that:
x = pigs
y = chickens
z = ducks
From the problem statement, we can formulate the
following equations:
1. y + z = 30 --->
only chicken and ducks have feathers
2. 4 x + 2 y + 2 z = 120 --->
pig has 4 feet, while chicken and duck has 2 each
3. 2 x + 2 y + 2 z = 90 --->
each animal has 2 eyes only
Rewriting equation 1 in terms of y:
y = 30 – z
Plugging this in equation 2:
4 x + 2 (30 – z) + 2 z = 120
4 x + 60 – 2z + 2z = 120
4 x = 120 – 60
4 x = 60
x = 15
From the given choices, only one choice has 15 pigs. Therefore
the answers are:
She has 15 pigs, 12 chickens, and 18 ducks.
This problem can be represented in a formula with fractions. To make it more simple, we are converting 5m30s to just pure seconds, which = 154 copies in 330 seconds.
You set up the formula like this: 154/330 = x/60. (it is x/60 because you want to know the x amount of copies per 60 seconds)
Cross multiply, you get 330x = 9240. Divide both sides by 330, you get:
x = 28 copies.
The final answer is 28 copies per minute
There are 3 right triangles.
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m x ?
Small x 18 m ?
Similar triangles: small & medium
short leg / long leg
x/32 = 18/x
x*x = 18 * 32
x² = 576
√x² = √576
x = 24
Long leg short leg hypotenuse
Large ? → 40 m ? 32+18 = 50 m
Medium 32 m 24 m ? → 40 m
Small 24 m 18 m ? → 30 m
solve hypotenuse of medium and small using Pythagorean theorem.
32² + 24² = c²
1024 + 576 = c²
1600 = c²
√1600 = √c²
40 = c
24² + 18² = c²
576 + 324 = c²
900 = c²
√900 = √c²
30 = c
Solve for the long leg of the large right triangle using ratio and proportion
medium and large: long leg / hypotenuse
32/40 = x/50
32*50 = 40 * x
1600 = 40x
1600/40 = x
40 = x

(I don't know what your question is, but if you're asking about the rate, I got it.)
Answer: 2.6666... meters per second
Explanation/Calculation:
Divide 40 by 15 to get the rate. You get 2 2/3 meters or 2.6666... meters per second.
Hope this helps! :)
