Question

If one pound of grain can feed five chickens

or two pigs, then ten pounds of grain can
feed 20 chickens and how many pigs?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 pigs

Explanation:

1 pig= 1/2 lb

1 chicken= 1/5 lb

20 divided by 5 = 4 lbs of grain used on chickens

10 - 4 = 6

6 x 2 (how many pigs could be fed with a pound) = 12 pigs
