    The number of ducks and pigs in a field total 35. The total number of legs among them is 98. Assuming each duck has exactly two legs and each pig has exactly four legs, determine how many ducks and how many pigs are in the field? By letting x=number of ducks and y=number of pigs, the equations x+y=35 and 2x+4y=98 are set up and solved to determine there are 21 ducks and 14 pigs.

    Understand What are the given  There are ducks and pigs with a total of 35

    the Problem information?  98 is the total number of legs.


     Duck has two legs
     Pig has 4 legs
    What is asked?  The number of ducks
     The number of pigs

    What is/are the  Number of ducks and pigs in the field.


    property/ies of the  Ducks are more than pigs
    final answer?

    Devise a What steps are 1. Represent the number of ducks using a variable.
    Plan needed to solve 2. Translate the statement into mathematical equation
    the problem? 3. Solve for the number of ducks and pigs in the field.
    Carry Out What are the 1. We let x be the number of ducks and let y as the number of
    the Plan results after we pigs. Since, ducks has two legs each, we represent its
    take the steps in number of legs by 2x and since pig has four legs we
    solving the represent its number of legs by 4y.
    problem? 2. The total number of ducks and pigs is 35. This can be expressed
    x+y=35.
    3. The number of legs of ducks and pigs altogether is 98. This can be
    expressed as 2x+4y=98.
    4. Solve the equation 1 and 2 by multiplying equation 1 with ‘2’ and
    subtracting it from equation 2.
    2(x+y)=35(2)
    2x+2y= 70
    (2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=98-70
    2y=28
    y= 14
    The number of pigs is 14 and the number of ducks is 35-
    14= 21.

    Review the Are we sure that  Checking the sum of the number of ducks and pigs we get
    Solution our answer is 14+21=35
    correct?  Checking the sum of the legs of ducks and pigs
    14(4)+21(2)=56+42 is equal to 98
    .
    The number of ducks and pigs in a field total 35. The total number of legs
    among them is 98. Assuming each duck has exactly two legs and each pig has
    exactly four legs, determine how many ducks and how many pigs are in the
    field?

    1. A room measures 12 feet by 15 feet. How many 3-foot by 3-


    foot squares of carpet are needed to cover the floor of this
    room?

    Understand What are the given  A room measures 12 feet by 15 feet


    the Problem information?  3-foot by 3-foot squares of carpet needed to cover the floor
    of the room

    What is asked?  Number of 3-foot by 3-foot squares of carpet needed

    What is/are the  The needed number of 3-foot by 3-foot to cover the
    property/ies of the room.
    final answer?

    Devise a What steps are 4. Get the exact measure of the room.
    Plan needed to solve 5. Determine how many 3-foot by 3-foot needed to cover the
    the problem? floor of entire room.
    Carry Out What are the 1. Multiply 12 feet by 15 feet to have the exact measure of the
    the Plan results after we room.
    take the steps in 12ft x 15ft= 180 square ft.
    solving the 2. Multiply 3-foot by 3-foot to get the measure of a square.
    problem? 3ft x 3ft= 9 square ft.
    3. Then, divide the product of the measure of room by the product
    of squares of carpet needed.
    180square ft/9square ft= 20 square ft.

    Therefore, there are 20 square ft. of carpet needed to cover


    the floor of the room.

    Review the Are we sure that  Checking the sum of the number of ducks and pigs we get
    Solution our answer is 14+21=35
    correct?  Checking the sum of the legs of ducks and pigs
    14(4)+21(2)=56+42 is equal to 98.
