Explanation:

English Translation

On a farm it is observed that for 12 ducks there are 5 chickens, for three chickens there are 8 turkeys, for 10 turkeys there are 9 pigs. How many ducks equals 7 pigs?

Solution

For 12 ducks, there are 5 chickens

12 ducks = 5 chickens

For 3 chickens, there are 8 turkeys

3 chickens = 8 turkeys

For 10 turkeys, there are 9 pigs

10 turkeys = 9 pigs

We first need to create a direct relationship between ducks and pigs to know how many ducks are equivalent to 7 pigs.

9 pigs = 10 turkeys

8 turkeys = 3 chickens

10 turkeys = (10×3/8) chickens = 3.75 chickens

Hence, 9 pigs = 10 turkeys = 3.75 chickens

9 pigs = 3.75 chickens.

12 ducks = 5 chickens

5 chickens = 12 ducks

3.75 chickens = (3.75×12/5) ducks = 9 ducks.

9 pigs = 3.75 chickens = 9 ducks

9 pigs = 9 ducks.

Hence, 7 pigs = 7 ducks too.

Hope this Helps!!!
