There are a lot of chickens and sheep in uncle ben`s farm, but he sadly forget how many he has now. only thing he remembers, there are 48 heads and 134 legs. can you tell ben how many sheep does he have?

Do 134 divided by 4 then using that number divide with 48which gives you your answers

Ben has 19 sheep (and 29 chickens).
Create a system of equations to solve the problem using the information you know. Use 'c' as the variable for chickens and 's' as the variable for sheep.

c + s = 48, because the total number of sheep and chickens together have 48 heads, and each animal has 1 head so there are 48 total animals.

2c + 4s = 134, because for each chicken there are 2 legs, and for each sheep there are 4 legs; when you add up all the legs, you get 134 legs.

Solve for one of the variables in the first equation. We'll use c.
c + s = 48
c = 48 - s

Plug the value for c into the second equation and solve for s.
2(48-s) + 4s = 134
96 - 2s + 4s = 134
96 + 2s = 134
2s = 38
s = 19

There are 19 sheep. Knowing this, put that into the first equation and solve for the number of chickens.
c + 19 = 48
c = 29

There are 19 sheep and 29 chickens.
