Question

A farmer has 63 goods and twenty times as many sheep. If the number of sheep he has is thirty times the number of his chicken. Find the total number of legs of the animals.

Answer 1

(63x20 = 1,260) (1,260 Divided by 30 = 42) (1,260+42 = 1,302) 1,302x4 = 5,208

Answer 2

Answer: 5124

Step-by-step explanation

Given

• 63 goods and twenty times as many sheep.

,

• If the number of sheep he has is thirty times the number of his chicken.

,

• Find the total number of legs of the animals. ​

Procedure:

We have to convert the information given into an equation, considering that s represents the number of sheep and c represents the number of chickens.

• "63 goods and twenty times as many sheep."

`s=63(20)=1260`

• "If the number of sheep he has is thirty times the number of his chicken."

`c=(s)/(30)=(1260)/(30)=42`

Finally, to know the total number of legs of the animals assuming that the farmer only has chickens and sheep, we have to consider that the sheep have 4 legs and the chickens two:

`4(1260)+2(42)=5124`
