How do you get past level 24 on cool maths ducks?
Simple. You have to be smarter than the ducks.
A farmhouse shelters 10 animals. Some are pigs and some are ducks. Altogether there are 36 legs. How many of each animal are there?
Let the number of pigs be x. So the number of ducks will be 10 - x. Since pigs have 4 legs and ducks have 2 legs, then we have 4x + 2(10 - x) = 36. Solve for x: 4x + 20 - 2x = 36 2x + 20 = 36 subtract 20 to both sides 2x = 16 divide by 2 to both sides x = 8 10 - x = 10 - 8 = 2 Thus, there are 8 pigs and 2 ducks. Check:
