Question

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?

Answer 1

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

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 :
`2* h+4* s=32` (2)

Solving for h and s we get:

s = 6 , h =4

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