Question

8. A dull witted farmer decided to count his sheep
by first counting their legs. He counted 456 legs
and reasoned that he had 113 sheep. Assuming
each sheep had 4 legs, was he correct?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

456 legs= no. of sheep x 4

So, no. of sheep = 456/4 = 114

But he calculated his sheep to be 113, So he was wrong.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, his assumption was wrong because number of sheep will be 114

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of legs = 456

so, no. of sheep = 456/4

= 114 sheep
