Question

Mr.Yan has almost as twice as many chickens and cows. The total number of legs and heads is 184. How many cows are there?

Answer 1

Number of cows is 23

Number of chickens is 46

Explanation:

Let's assume

number of cows =x

we are given

Mr.Yan has almost as twice as many chickens and cows

so,

Number of chickens =2x

We know that

Number of legs in a cow =4

Number of legs in a chicken =2

now, we can set up equation

`4* x+2* 2x=184`

`4x+4x=184`

`8x=184`

`x=23`

So,

Number of cows =23

Number of chickens is

`=2* 23=46`
