since my uncles farmyard appears to be overrun with dogs and chickens. i asked him how many of each he had. he responded that his dogs and chickens had a total of 148 legs and 60 heads. how many dogs and chickens are there on my uncles farm?

Answer :

Assuming that all the animals are dogs, the number of legs there are would be 240.
60*4=240 legs
240-148=92 legs
All the 92 legs belong to the chickens, so there are 46 chickens.
Since there are 46 chickens,
60-46=14 dogs
