calculated the number of chickens. How many chickens were there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

since he said he counted 34 legs.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34. you should first remove 2 from 34 that would give you 32. 32 divided by 4 which is the number of legs a single pig has is 8, 8 plus 2 divided by two which is the number of legs a single chicken has is 1 so I plus 8 is 9, but they said he has 10 animals, then you remove 4 again reducing the pig side to 28 and increasing the chicken size to 6. 28 divide by 4 is 7, and 6 divided by 2 is 3, so 3 plus 7 is 10, and ten is the number of animals, so the number of chicken is 3.
