Scott’s family has cats and birds as pets. Scott counted the total number of legs his pets have. Scott counted 30 legs total. If Scott’s family owns 3 birds, how many cats do they own?

  • Each and every bird has 2legs(Scientific truth)

3birds would have=2(3)=6legs

Cats have:-

  • 30-6=24legs

Each cat has 4legs.

Total cats:-


\\ \sf\longmapsto (24)/(4)=6cats
