Question

hey,

help me,

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans an horses, he conuted 74 heads and 196 legs. How many humans and horses were there?

Answer 1

[0010001111]... Hello User... [1001010101]
Here's your answer...

Let the number of humans be x and number of horses be y.
Since each horse and human has one head each, x+y = 74
Since each human has 2 legs and each horse has 4 legs, 2x+4y = 196
x+2y = 98
x+y = 74
_______
y = 24
x = 50

So there were 50 humans and 24 horses (assuming no one has an extra leg or head or something :-P)

Answer 2

horses=24
humans=50
total legs=
$(24 \times 4) + (50 \times 2)$

=
$196$

total heads=74
