John has a farm with cows and chickens. There are 1284 legs all in all. John has 142 chickens. How many cows are there?

Show the:
Equation
Solution
Final Answer

 

Let:

cows = a

chickens =

Equation: (number of legs) 2a + 4b = 1284

Solution:

2a + 4b = 1284; a = 142

2(142) + 4b = 1284

284 + 4b = 1284

4b = 1284 - 284

4b = 1000

b = 250

There are 250 cows.

The First Year, Two Cows Produced 8100 Litres Of Milk. The Second Year Their Production Increased By 15% And 10% Respectively, And The Total Amount Of

The first year, two cows produced 8100 litres of milk. The second year their production increased by 15% and 10% respectively, and the total amount of milk increased to 9100 litres a year. How many litres were milked from each cow each year?   we need to find how many litres of these were from the 1st cow and 2nd cow respectively. We can do this by finding the ratio of the amount of milk both cows produced. In the given it is mentioned that one cow produces 15% more from its 1st yr yield and the second cow produced 10% more. Therefore 15:10 is their ratio, which can be simplified to 3:2. per 3 units 1st cow makes the 2nd cow produced 2 units. If we sum up the ratio it equates to 5 units. So the amount of produced milk per yr can be divided into 5 parts that can be evenly distributed accordingly to each cow. So for year 1 8,100 litres divided by 5 is 1,620 litres. cow 1: 1,620 × 3 = 4,860 litres cow 2: 1,620 × 2 = 3,240 litres and year 2 cow 1: 4,860+600= 5,460 litres cow 2: 3,2
