Answer:
5 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set chickens and pigs with variables "c" and "p" respectively.
We know there a 16 animals in all, so there are:
c+p=16
We know there are 54 legs and chickens have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs each:
2c+4p=54
Now we have our system of equations:
c+p=16
2c+4p=54
We are trying to find the number of chickens, so we write the first equation in respect to c.
p=16-c
Substituting the first derived equation to equation two:
2c+64-4c=54
Simplifying:
64-2c=54
2c=10
c=5
So there are 5 chickens.
Answer:
length = 48 feet , width = 32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using
2W + 2L = 160 with W = L - 16 , then
2(L - 16) + 2L = 160 ← distribute and simplify left side
2L - 32 + 2L = 160
4L - 32 = 160 ( add 32 to both sides )
4L = 192 ( divide both sides by 4 )
L = 48
Substitute L = 48 into W = L - 16
W = 48 - 16 = 32
Thus length = 48 feet and width = 32 feet
Answer: 3/16 is not equivalent to 3/8
Step-by-step explanation: 3/16 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 16 pieces whilst 3/8 would be like eating 3 pieces of a pie that has 8 pieces. They are mildly similar but 3/16 is twice as small as 3/8 and henceforth not equivalent.
