There are some hens and some sheeps are in a farm,total number of animals are 10 and total number of their legs are 32 1.Find number of hens? 2. Find number of sheeps?

Sagot :

Answer: The number of hens are 4 and number of sheeps are 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total animals = 10

Total number of legs = 32

Let number of hens = h  and number of sheep = s

Thus h+s = 10    (1)

Now each hen has two legs and each sheep has 4 legs :[tex]2\times h+4\times s=32[/tex]   (2)

Solving for h and s we get:

s = 6 , h =4

Thus number of hens are 4 and number of sheeps are 6
