You have to setup two different equations first. One to get the total number of animals and another to get the total number of feet.

Since all the chickens plus all the rabbits equals 105 animals, c + r = 105.

Since chickens have two feet and rabbits have four feet with the given total as 360, 2c + 4r =360.

Then we will define the first equation in terms of "r" by finding the value for "c" in the second equation.

2c + 4r = 360

2c = 360 - 4r

c= 180 -2r

Now we will substitute this value for "c" into the first equation.

c + r = 105

(180 - 2r) + r = 105

180 - r = 105

r = 75

So, there are 75 rabbits. Then to find the number of chickens, we plug in the numerical value for "r" in the first equation.

c + r = 105

c + 75 = 105

c = 30

There are 75 rabbits and 30 chickens. This equals 105 animals with a combined total of 360 feet.

On a farm there are three-legged-cows and chickens There are total of 45 heads and 110 legs How many three-legged-cows are on the farm?

Do-it-in-your-head method: If all animals were chickens there would be 90 legs. There are 20 extra legs, each on a cow, so there are 20 cows and therefore 25 chickens.


Sheep cost 15 dollars chickens cost 1 dollar and mice are .25 cents how many of each do you need to have 100 animals and spend 100 dollars you must have at least one of each animal?

3 Sheep 15 = 45 41 Chickens @ 1.00 = 41 56 Mice @ .25 = 14


A farmer has 100 and can buy 100 animals so how many of each animal can he buy if chickens are 50 cents pigs 2 and Sheep 5?

if he has 100 dollars, and can only buy 100 animals, then he can buy 76 chickens for $38, 21 Pigs for $42, and 4 sheep for $20. :) well that's 101, but im close. and i did it all by myself. :D


What is the answer to this problem a farmer owns some goats and chickens he counts 144 legs on his farm the number of chickens is4 times the number of goats how many chickens are on the farm?

Let x = the number of goats (4 legs) 4x = the number of chickens (2 legs) So we have 4*x + 2*4x = 144 4x + 8x = 144 12x = 144 x = 144/12 = 12 (goats and 48 chickens) or Let's suppose that each of them have 6 legs, so there would be 24 chickens and goats (144/6), and we can say there are 12 chickens and 12 goats. But the number of chickens is 4 times the number of goats, so there are 48 chickens (4*12) and 12 goats.


How many chickens and pigs are there if there are 169 heads and 398 feet?

There are 139 chickens and 30 pigs. Let c = number of chickens and p = number of pigs Each has 1 head, therefore c + p = 169 Each chicken has 2 feet and each pig has 4 feet, therefore 2c + 4p = 398 => c + 2p = 199 Subtracting the first from the second gives: c + 2p - c - p = 199 - 169 => p = 30 Substitute in the first c + 30 = 169 c = 139

Can you breed a hamster and guniea pig together?

I wouldn't recommend it... But It really comes down to the temperament of the animals. They may fight or scrap, so don't leave them together until you are VERY sure that they can live together peacefully. A cage may not be the best place, but perhaps a small enclosure? So they have a place to hide in if things get nasty :\ Hope this helps -Kachira


There are 13 animals in the barn Some are chickens and others are pigs There are 40 legs in all How many of each animal are there?

2c + 4p = 40 c + p = 13 so 2c + 2p = 26 so 2p =14 p = 7, c = 6 Check: 7 pigs = 28 legs, 6 chickens = 12 legs, total 40 legs. QED

Why chickens eat each other?

In the wild, a chicken would stay with the flock for protection. They wouldn't normally search out other animals to eat with, as that would be competition for food. Chickens in a home flock will certainly eat with other animals, since the food is provided. Chickens are very useful ranging with cattle, sheep or goats, as they help reduce the insect population in the pasture. They keep pen and cage areas for rabbits and pigs cleaned of weeds and insects. Pet chickens have been shown to be quite tolerant of, and share living and eating space with, the other pets of the home.

Can you have animals in harvest moon island of happieness?

Yes you can. If you are looking for cows, chickens, sheep etc, you will need to build a barn for the cows and sheep and a coop for the chickens. Talk to the old fat lady with the hot daughter whos name escapes me (Mirabel?) to buy cows and chickens. You can unlock sheep when you have four of each. If you want other animals, you can unlock the dog and horse. Dog is easy enough, just befriend Mirabel, and eventually she will give you the stray dog running around. The horse you need to befriend both of the two Asian guys- the man and his kid. It's harder, because you can only gift them on their day off. They give you a horse.
