Answer:

15 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

1 leg = 1 foot

1 head = 1 animal

Suppose all the animals are chickens:

50 × 2 = 100

130 - 100 = 30

4 - 2 = 2

30 ÷ 2 = 15

Hence, there are 15 sheep.

Andreyy89

Answer: 81, 243, 729

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP ONE: Find a pattern in the sequence

3 ÷ 1 = 3

9 ÷ 3 = 3

27 ÷ 9 = 3

As we can see from the given sequence, each number multiplies 3 to get the next term.

STEP TWO: Find the next three terms

27 × 3 = 81

81 × 3 = 243

243 × 3 = 729
