There are 1000 rabbits and chickens on a farm, and together they have 3150 legs. How many rabbits and how many chickens are there on the farm?.

Sagot :

The number of rabbits on the farm is 575 and the number of chickens is 425.

Here we have to find the number of rabbits and the number of chickens on the farm.

Data given:

Total number of rabbits and chicken = 1000

Number of legs = 3150

Let x be the number of rabbits and y be the number of chickens.

So we have

x + y = 1000 -------(1)

4x + 2y = 3150

A rabbit has 4 legs and a chicken has 2 legs.

2x + y = 1575 ------(2)

Substrating equation (1) from (2) we have:

x = 575

Now put in equation (1) we have:

575 + y = 1000

y = 425

Therefore the number of rabbits is 575 and the number of chickens is 425.
