|  Math Problem On a farm there are three-legged-cows and chickens. There are a total of 52 heads and 146 legs. How many three legged cows are on the farm? Feel like you are back in middle school? Jasmine and Jenna are working on it. Can someone here get the answer first? 120 seconds should be more than enough time to figure it out. -Raymond

| Re: Math Problem SPOILER ALERT !!! Here is how I solved it. I estimated a reasonable starting guess, checked the math, and tracked shifting a head from chicken to cow in a table until I had the correct answer. 42
