Answer:

22 hens and 78 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hens = x

Number of sheep = y

Total heads = 100

x +  y = 100      --------------------(I)

 x = 100 - y

Number of legs of 'x' hen = 2*x = 2x

Number of legs of 'y' sheep = 4*y = 4y

total legs = 356

2x + 4y =  356 -----------------------(II)

Substitute x = 100 -y in equation (II)

2(100 - y) + 4y = 356

2*100 - 2*y + 4y = 356

200 <u>- 2y + 4y</u>    = 356 {Combine like terms}

        200  + 2y = 356          {Subtract 200 from both sides}

                   2y = 356 - 200

                  2y = 156       {Divide both sides by 2}

                    y = 156/2

                  y = 78

Plugin  y = 78 in equation (I)

x + 78 = 100

       x = 100 - 78

       x = 22

22 hens and 78 sheep

What is two hundred sixty-five thousandths in standard form?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

10^-1*2.65

Step-by-step explanation:

two hundred sixty-five thousandths= 0.265

We need a number between 1 and 10, to do the multiplication in standard form, so 0.265 turns into 2.65.

Because 2.65 becomes, smaller we use a negative power. We only move the decimal place once to the left, so we would multiply 2.65 by 10^1.

10^-1*2.65=0.265
