Multiple Choice

There are 20 animals in the barn. Some are geese and some are buffalo. There are 64 legs in all. How many of each animal are there?

• 12 geese and 8 buffalo

• 8 geese and 12 buffalo

• 4 geese and 28 buffalo

• The buffalo all sat on the geese and now there are only 44 legs in all.

Multiple Choice

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15

Multiple Choice

At a restaurant the cost for a breakfast taco and a small glass of milk is $2.10. The cost for 2 tacos and 3 small glasses of milk is $5.15. If a system of equations is written, which would be the correct representation of the 2 variables? 

• t: # of tacos
  m: # of glasses of milk
• t: Cost of each taco
  m: Cost of each glass of milk
• t: total cost
  m: # of food items
• t: Cost of each glass of milk
  m: Cost of each taco
