Final answer:
To find the number of dogs and chickens on a farm, we set up a system of equations with the variables 'd' (dogs) and 'c' (chickens). After considering the conditions given (total count and leg count), and ensuring there are at least twice as many chickens as dogs, we solve the equations to determine that the correct answer is 3 dogs and 9 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question provided involves a problem-solving situation using system of equations in the context of counting animals on a farm. To solve this problem, we will define two variables: let 'd' represent the number of dogs and 'c' represent the number of chickens on the farm. We have two equations based on the information given:
d + c = 12 (The total number of dogs and chickens adds up to 12)
4d + 2c = 28 (The total number of legs, taking into account that dogs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs)
We will use the information of the ratios between chickens and dogs (at least twice as many chickens as dogs) to narrow down the possible answers. After solving the system of equations (either by substitution or elimination), we would find that the correct answer is Option B) 3 dogs and 9 chickens, which satisfies both the total count of animals, the total count of legs, and the condition of having at least twice as many chickens as dogs.
