Answer:

  • 14 oxen
  • 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of oxen. Then the number of ducks is 22-x and the number of legs is ...

  4x +2(22 -x) = 72

  2x +44 = 72 . . . . . . . simplify

  x +22 = 36 . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 14 . . . . . . . . . subtract 22; the number of oxen

  22-x = 8 . . . . . the number of ducks

There are 8 ducks and 14 oxen in the barn.

Answer:

  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the smaller circles is proportional to the square of the ratio of their diameters. The two smallest circles have diameters equal to 1/4 the diameter of the largest circle. Hence their areas are (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of that of the largest circle.

Similarly, the medium circle has a diameter half that of the largest circle, so its area is (1/2)^2 = 1/4 of the are of the largest circle.

The smaller circles subtract 2×1/16 +1/4 = 3/8 of the area of the largest circle. Then the shading is 1-3/8 = 5/8 of the area of the largest circle.
