A Woman has cat's and birds. When asked how many of each she has she answers... " I have between both cats and birds 400 feet and 232 eyes.(Cats have 4 feet and Birds have 2 feet)
How Many Total?
How many Birds?
How many Cats?
To answer these questions, let's break down the information given.
First, we know that cats have 4 feet and birds have 2 feet. So, if we calculate the total number of feet, we can find the total number of animals.
The woman says she has 400 feet in total. We divide 400 by the total number of feet per animal.
400 / (4 + 2) = 400 / 6 = 66.67
Since we can't have a fraction of an animal, we can round this number to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the total number of animals she has is 67.
To find out the number of birds, we need to know that each bird has 2 feet. The total number of feet she mentioned is 400, so we divide 400 by 2 to get the number of birds.
400 / 2 = 200
Therefore, she has 200 birds.
To find out the number of cats, we can subtract the number of birds from the total number of animals. We know the total number of animals is 67 and the number of birds is 200, so:
Total number of cats = Total number of animals - Number of birds = 67 - 200
Since the answer would be negative, it means she doesn't have any cats.
So, to summarize the answers:
- She has a total of 67 animals.
- She has 200 birds.
- She doesn't have any cats.
