In Aunt Peggy’s backyard there are cows and chickens. There are 20 more chickens than cows. The total number of legs is 130. How many chickens and how many cows are there? (Each cow has 4 legs, each chicken has 2 legs.)

There's 15 cows and 35 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 20 and multiply it by 2. The answer is 40. Then subtract 40 from 130. The answer will be 90. The cow has double the amount of legs than the  chicken, so the cow is equivalent to 2 chicken. Divide 90 by 3. The answer is 30. Then divide 30 by 2 the answer is 15. Add 15 and 20 and the answer is 35 chickens. Divide 30 by 2 and the answer is 15.

You will get 35 chicken and 15 cows as your answer. Happy Election Night, and I hope this helps! ;)

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
