Mohammed had ducks and cows on his farm. These 14 animals had a total of 40 legs. How many each animals did Mohamed have?

Answer 1

assuming no amputees, there are 12 too many legs to be all ducks. So, 6 of the animals had 2 extra legs each.

8 ducks and 6 cows

or, more algebraically, if there are d ducks and c cows,

d+c = 14
2d+4c = 40

now solve for d and c.
