Answer 1

Answer: 70 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

7:2

Chickens to ducks

5:9

Ducks to pigs.

There are 36 pigs. 9 is the ratio of pigs.

5 : 9

? : 36

9 x 4= 36

So multiply 5x4 to find the total ducks

=20 ducks

7 : 2

? : 20

So, 2x10 is 20 (ducks)

So 7x10 to find the chickens

(You have to balence out the sides and keep it equal

So if one side is multiplied by 10, the other is too)

7x10

= 70 chickens
