Answer:
4h + 2c = 186 legs
Step-by-step explanation:
h is the number horses and c is the number of chickens.
We know that 1 horse = 4 legs.
And 1 chicjen = 2 legs
We can write these as:
1H = 4 legs
1C = 2 legs
We are told that a farmer counts 186 legs. That must be represented by the equations:
B
We can start by converting 1 into 6/6 and 1/3 into 2/6. This makes subtraction much easier, and by subtracting the numerators, (6/6 - 2/6) you should get 4/6.
1.50 / 6
0.25
