Best Answer

If they were all horses you'd have 440 legs, so you're 184 legs "short", so you have half that number of chickens ie 92, leaving 18 horses. That's 92 x 2 and 18 x 4 legs, 184 + 72 = 256

On a farm there are horses and chickens there are total of 45 heads and 156 legs how many horses are on the farm?

Answer : 33 horses. Number of Horses (H) + Number of Chickens (C) = 45 therefore C = 45 - H There are 4H horse legs and 2C chicken legs so, 4H + 2C = 156 substituting for C gives :- 4H + 2(45 - H) = 156 4H + 90 - 2H = 156 2H = 156 - 90 = 66 H = 33 There are 33 horses (and 45 - 33 = 12 chickens)
