Question

How many legs are there for 4 cows and 3 chickens?

Answer 1

Hint: This is a simple calculation problem but we need to know how many legs a cow and a chicken have. A cow has 4 legs and a chicken has 2 legs. So now we will have to calculate the number of total legs of 4 cows and 3 chickens. So, let’s see how we can solve this problem.

Complete step by step solution:
For the given problem we have to calculate the total number of legs of 4 cows and 3 chickens. We know that cows have 4 legs and a chicken has 2 legs.
So, 4 cows with 4 legs $=4\times 4=16$
And, 3 chickens with 2 legs $=3\times 2=6$
Total number of legs $=16+6=22$ legs

Therefore, 4 cows and 3 chickens have 22 legs in total.

Note:
In the above question, we were asked to find out the legs of 4 cows and 3 chickens. That's why we multiplied 4 with the total number of legs of one cow and 3 with the total number of legs of one chicken. This question was quite easy but we need to remember the number of legs of a cow and a chicken.
