Question

There are a lot of chickens and sheep in uncle Ben`s Farm, but he sadly forget how many he has now. Only thing he remembers, there are 48 heads and 134 legs. Can you tell Ben how many sheep does he have?

Answer 1

Let number of chickens = C
Number of sheep = 48 - C

2C + 4(48-C) = 134
2C + 192 - 4C = 134
-2C = -58
C = 29
Number of sheeps = 48 -29
= 19
