Question

In a cage full of bugs, there are beetles (6 legs) and spiders (8legs). You count 30 bugs and 192 legs. How many spiders and beetles are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 24 beetles and 6 spiders

Explanation:

Every spider you have, it's 8 legs. However, when you have 30 spiders it will be 240 legs. That's over the amount by 48. For every beetle you switch out, you will have 2 fewer legs. 48/2 is 24 and you will have 24 beetles and 6 spiders.

Answer 2
