Question

Joe counted 48 heads and 134 legs among the chickens and rabbits on his farm. How many
rabbits he had?​

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because they said 'chickens' which could be flesh part or leg piece but a leg piece donot have any head .Therefore all the heads reffered to rabbit only..

one more reason was that 'chickens' are kept in poultry

Answer 2

Answer:

19 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of chicken be X

& the number of of rabbits be Y

according 2 question

so, X + Y = 48 ( number of total heads) ....(1)

2X + 4Y = 134 ( NUMBER OF TOTAL FEET) ....(2)

ON MULTIPLYING EQUATION 1 BY 2 AND SUBTRACTING IT FROM EQUATION 2 WE GET

2Y = 134-96

2Y = 38

Y= 19
