Answer:

There are 15 cows and 35 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you take 20 and multiply it by two since there are two legs on each chicken. You get 40.

Then you subtract 40 from 130. You get 90.

Since the cow has double the legs of the chicken, you can count the cow as two chicken.

You divide 90 by 3. You get 30.

To get the number of chicken you divide 30 by 2 and you get 15.

You add 15 and 20 together and you get 35 chickens.

To get the number of cows you divide 30 by 2 and you get 15.

So you have your answer. 35 chicken and 15 cows.
