Let X be chickens
Let Y be pigs,
then x+y=13
the animals have 2x+4y legs,
 so 2x+4y=40
The system of the equations
[X+y=13
[2x+4y=40
Divide the second equation by 2
[x+y=13
[x+2y=20
subtract the first equation from the second one
y=20-13
y-7 pigs
substitute y=7 into the first equation
x+7=13
x=13-7
x=6 chickens

In a particular triathlon the athletes cover 1/24 of the total distance by
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).

d = s + r + b   [1]

1/24 of the total distance is covered by  swimming.

s = 1/24 d   [2]

1/3 of the distance is covered by running.

r = 1/3 d  [3]

If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get

d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b

b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d

b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d

b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d

The ratio of  the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:

b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8
