Answer 1

Answer:There are 72 heads (chicken and rabbit) and 200 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are present totally?

Step-by-step explanation

There are 72 heads (chicken and rabbit) and 200 legs. How many chickens and rabbits are present totally?

Legs of a chicken = 2

Legs of a rabbit = 4

Total heads = 72

Total legs= 200

Let's assume that each of them has minimum 2 legs.

So 72*2 = 144 legs

Remaining legs: 200-144= 56

These remaining legs belong to rabbit because rabbit has 4 legs each.

2*Rabbits= 56

Rabbits= 56/2 = 28

Out of 72, 28 are rabbits. So there are 72-28= 44 chicken.
