Answer 1

there are 6 cows mate

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of cows = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say number of cows = C

Number of Ducks = D

Cow has 4 Legs

Duck has two legs

Cow & Duck has 1 Head each

Number of Total Legs = 4C + 2D

Number of Total Heads = C + D

As the number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads

4C + 2D  = 2(C + D) + 24

=> 4C + 2D = 2C + 2D + 24

=> 2C  = 24

=> C = 12

Number of cows = 12
