Pigs and Ducks
Jennie the old sheep dog is
lazing around in the paddock
near the house. She counts the number of
animals in the paddock. There are 11 of
them, pigs and ducks. Then her eye runs
over the legs. She sees 28 legs.
How many ducks are there? =11
The Pizza Place in my town has three
tables of the same size. The Chicken
N Chips restaurant has four of the
same sort of table.
The Chicken N Chips can just seat 24
people. How many people can The
Pizza Place seat? 8
Now a third of the seats at The Chicken N Chips were
empty and a half of the places at The Pizza Place were
empty. If 18 more people wanted to eat out, how many
would have to be turned away from the two restaurants?
=6
