Miss Clark farm has chickens and pigs. There are a total 26 animal feet and 8 animal heads on her farm. If 20 feet belong to the pigs and 6 feet belong to the chickens, the ratio of the number of pigs to the number of chickens is
pigs have four feet, so if 20 feet belong to the pigs, there's 5 pigs, because 5x4=20. chickens have 2 feet, so if 6 feet belong to the chickens, there's 3 chickens, because 2x3=6.
There will be 5:3 because pigs have 4 feet each so divide 4 from 20 to get 5, then you divide 2 from 6 because chickens have 2 feet so you put the ratio in order to get 5:3
