To solve this, first you would need to list out all of the available ratios. Then, find out how many legs are in each option.:
14 horses and 1 chicken = 58 legs
13 horses and 2 chickens = 56 legs
12 horses and 3 chickens = etc.
11 horses and 4 chickens
10 horses and 5 chickens
9 horses and 6 chickens
8 horses and 7 chickens
7 horses and 8 chickens = 44 legs!
6 horses and 9 chickens
5 horses and 10 chickens
4 horses and 11 chickens
3 horses and 12 chickens

I think its "Yes it can because -3.5 lies to the left of -1.5"
Assuming width=diameter
diameter/2=radius
area=hpir^2
w=d=2
d/2=2/2=1=r
h=6
area=6pi1^2
area=6pi1
area=6pi
aprox pi=3.141592
area=18.85 cm³
The reciprocal of 7 is 1/7, reciprocal of 8 is 1/8, and reciprocal of 9 is 1/9
