Farmer Ed has 500 cattle in the pasture. When he rides his horse into the pasture to sort the cattle, how many legs are in the pasture?
(501 * 4) + 2 = ?
There are 2006 legs. Thank you :)
Right.
You're welcome.
To determine the number of legs in the pasture when Farmer Ed rides his horse into it, we first need to know how many legs each cattle and horse have.
Cattle typically have four legs, while horses have four legs as well. Therefore, each cattle contributes 4 legs, and the horse contributes an additional 4 legs.
To calculate the total number of legs in the pasture, we multiply the number of cattle by the number of legs each cattle has:
500 cattle × 4 legs = 2000 legs contributed by cattle
Since Farmer Ed rides his horse into the pasture, we add the horse's legs:
2000 legs + 4 legs = 2004 legs in total
So, when Farmer Ed rides his horse into the pasture, there would be 2004 legs in the pasture.
