Miscellaneous word problems for the day of April, 1

Problem 1

A farmer has donkeys and ostriches. There are 100 heads and 252 legs.
Two donkeys have three legs each. Calculate how many of each animal type the farmer has.

Solution

Distract 2*3 = 6 legs and 2 heads.


Then you will have the problem for normal animals:


   A farmer has donkeys and ostriches. There are 98 heads and 246 legs.     
   Calculate how many of each animal type the farmer has.


For this, see the lesson  Problem on animals at a farm  
where similar problems were solved.


Use them as samples and solve your problem by using the same logic and the same technique.


At the end do not forget to return back two heads that you distracted in the beginning.

Good luck!
