A farm yard contains some pigs and some chickens. Altogether there are 60 heads and 200 legs. How many pigs are there in the yard?

40 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

p=pigs c=chickens.

4p=pigs have 4 legs.

2c=chickens have 2 legs.

4p+2c=200

p+c=60

Do the elimination method:

4p+2c=200

(-4)p+c=60

4p+2c=200

-4p-4c=-240

-2c=-40

c=20

p+20=60

p=60-20

p=40

Hope this helps!

BRAINLIEST would help me a lot:)

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
