Cows - sheep = 19
Ducks - hens = 19
Unless there is more data, that is all you can do.
Ducks - hens = 19
Unless there is more data, that is all you can do.
One solution is :
Cows= 20
Sheep= 1
Ducks= 50
Hens= 31
(C-S)=19 & (D-H)=19
H>C
Whereas, (H>C-S) = (D-H)
Therefore, you have the Hen, Chicken and the Rooster. If the Rooster is having sex with the Hen, who is having sex with the Chicken?
Let's suppose the number of sheep is S, the number of cows is C, the number of hens is H, and the number of ducks is D.
From the clues given:
1. There are 19 more cows than sheep: C = S + 19
2. There are more hens than cows: H > C
3. There are 19 more ducks than hens: D = H + 19
To write a subtraction problem, we can focus on finding the difference between two quantities. In this case, we can find the difference between the number of hens and cows. So our subtraction problem would be:
H - C
This subtraction problem will give us the difference between the number of hens and the number of cows on the farm.
