Answer:
The number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Old Mc Donald raises ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 100 heads and 354 feet.
Let the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises be 'x' and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises be 'y'.
So, according to the question;
- The first condition states that the animals have a total of 100 heads, that means;
-------------------- [equation 1]
{because one head of a duck and one head of cow}
- The second condition states that the animals have a total of 354 feet, that means;
--------------- [equation 2]
{because there are two feet of a duck and four feet of cow}
Now, putting the value of x in equation 2 we get;
y = 77 cows
Putting this value of y in equation 1 we get;
x = 100 - y
x = 100 - 77 = 23 ducks
Hence, the number of ducks Old Mc Donald raises are 23 and the number of cows Old Mc Donald raises are 77.
This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°, therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see attached).
Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse (flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this case, we use the sin function:
sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight
flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45
<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>
