Answer:
27 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals
Both animals have a total of 66 legs
Let a represent the number of chicken
Let b represent the number of cows
a + b= 30........equation 1
Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as
2a + 4b= 66........equation 2
From equation 1
a + b= 30
a = 30-b
Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2
2a + 4b= 66
2(30-b) + 4b= 66
60 - 2b + 4b= 66
60 + 2b= 66
2b= 66-60
2b= 6
b= 6/2
b= 3
Substitute 3 for b in equation 1
a + b = 30
a + 3=30
a= 30-3
a= 27
Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
Answer:
436 items
Step-by-step explanation:
When a quantity A is inversely proportional to another quantity B, we can write:

Where k is the proportionality constant [that we need to find]
For this problem, we can write the ratio as:

Now given N = 480 and C = 4.90, we first find k:

Now, as second step, we need this time to find N, when
C = 5.40
Note, we know know k = 2352, so we find N:

Rounding to next whole number, we have 436 items
