Answer:
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pen had chickens and bulls. The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .
Let
a = number of chicken
b = number of bull
a + b = 40................(i)
A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.
The total legs can be represented as
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
combine the equation
a + b = 40................(i)
2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)
a = 40 - b
insert the value of a in equation(ii)
2(40 - b) + 4b = 130
80 - 2b + 4b = 130
80 + 2b = 130
2b = 130 - 80
2b = 50
divide both sides by 2
b = 50/2
b = 25
Insert the value of b in equation (i)
a + b = 40
a + 25 = 40
a = 40 - 25
a = 15
There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.
The answer is 24" hope this helps.
Depending on how large the figure actually is, if it is specifying that on that specific paper what to use to measure it, use a ruler also for part b a possible dimension could be 4 cm x 8cm
