Question

There are 17 animals in the field. Some are pigs and some are chickens. There are 60 legs in all. How many of each animal are in the field?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken has 2 legs, a pig has four. 13 pigs x 4 legs each = 52

4 chickens x 2 legs each = 8

52+8= 60 legs in total

So there are 13 pigs and 4 chickens
