QUESTION:

In the village there were four different types of animals: pigs, sheep, chickens & cows.

• Every fourth animal was a pig
• One out of eight animals was a sheep
• Half of the animals were chickens
• The rest of the animals were cows. There were 50 cows.

How many animals of each type were there in the village?

Answer 1

If we have 8 animals

• pigs are 2
• sheep is 1
• chickens 4
• cow is 1

So for 50 cows we multiply by 8 = 400 animals

• pigs are 100
• sheeps are 50
• chickens are 200
• cows are 50
