Three chickens weighed in pairs |
2015-09-01 |
|
From Shelly:
My son brought home a problem of 3 chickens of different weights listing their weights in different groupings of 2. We are to determine the weight of all three together. I think it's a ratio problem, but I am too far removed to formulate a plan to teach him how to solve it.

From damebochie:
I got this problem and want to write a system of equation for it:
Farmer Joe has cows and chickens on his farm. One day he count 76 legs and 24 heads. How many cows and how many chickens are on the farm? write a system of equations and solve.
I don't have any problem to solve it, but I just can;t see how I am going to write this system of equation.
Thank you so much for helping?

Chickens and cows |

From Norman:
My grandson is testing me on a question he recently solved.
The question is "A farmer has cows and chickens - there are 252 heads and 81 legs - how many of each animal does he have?"
I immediately thought of the quadratic equations I learned 50 years ago at school, but cannot remember how to do it. It is further complicated by the fact that 1 animal must have 3 legs as the total number of legs is 81 (or perhaps he his trying to catch me out) Any helpful advice would be welcome.
Many thanks
Norman

Cows, chickens and pigs |

From Markequetta:
I was asked a question by a friend who refuses to give the right answer to a question that I answered wrong. So if you can help me that would be great! The level of my question is secondary I believe.
Question:
Cows cost: $10
Chickens cost: $0.50
Pigs cost: $3
You have to buy 100 animals and spend $100, so how many cows, chickens, and pigs do you have on your farm?

From Monica:
Farmer Bob of the Martian Colony counted his sheep and chickens in an unusual way. When he finished, he reported that he had counted 86 feet and 26 heads. Use a guess and check table to find how many sheep and chickens are owned by the famer.

From Rick:
A man raised chickens. He sold all but 8 of them. The first buyer bought 1/3 of all the chickens + 2/3 of a single chicken. The second buyer bought 1/3 of the remaining chickens + 1/3 of a single chicken. The third buyer bought 1/3 of the remainder + 2/3 of a chicken. How many chickens did the seller own before selling any? All chickens were alive and whole when the buyers received them.
