Answer:

I think it would be 93

Explanation:

Because 1116 / 4 = 279

279 / 3 = 93

because there are twice as many cows than goats the cow would have 93 + 93, but goats would only have one group of the 3

if that makes any sense at all

Hope this helps;)

Answer:

There are 186 cows and 93 goats.

Explanation:

If you divide 1,116 by 3, you get 372 which is the amount of goat legs and if you subtract 372 from 1116 you will get 744, which is the amount of cow legs. Next you have to divide 372 and 744 by 4, to get the amount of goats and cows on the farm. You will end up with 93 goats and 186 cows.
