Samantha has chickens and sheep on her farm. Each chicken has two legs and each sheep has four legs. Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head. She looked out one day and counted 48 animal heads and 134 legs. How many of each animal live on the farm?

There are 29 chickens and 19 sheep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha has chickens and sheep on her farm.

Let the number of chickens be c.

Let the number of sheep be s.

Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head.

She looked out one day and counted 48 animal heads. Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head.

This means that the number of chickens and sheep add up to 48:

c + s = 48 (1)

She also counted 134 legs. Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head. This means that:

2c + 4s = 134 (2)

From (1),

c = 48 - s (3)

Put (3) in (2):

2(48 - s) + 4s = 134

96 - 2s + 4s = 134

Collecting like terms:

2s = 134 - 96

2s = 38

s = 38 / 2 = 19

Putting this back in (3):

c = 48 - 19

c = 29

There are 29 chickens and 19 sheep.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
