7 ducks equals 7 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

On a farm it is observed that for 12 ducks there are 5 chickens, for three chickens there are 8 turkeys, for 10 turkeys there are 9 pigs. How many ducks equals 7 pigs?

Solution

For 12 ducks, there are 5 chickens

12 ducks = 5 chickens

For 3 chickens, there are 8 turkeys

3 chickens = 8 turkeys

For 10 turkeys, there are 9 pigs

10 turkeys = 9 pigs

We first need to create a direct relationship between ducks and pigs to know how many ducks are equivalent to 7 pigs.

9 pigs = 10 turkeys

8 turkeys = 3 chickens

10 turkeys = (10×3/8) chickens = 3.75 chickens

Hence, 9 pigs = 10 turkeys = 3.75 chickens

9 pigs = 3.75 chickens.

12 ducks = 5 chickens

5 chickens = 12 ducks

3.75 chickens = (3.75×12/5) ducks = 9 ducks.

9 pigs = 3.75 chickens = 9 ducks

9 pigs = 9 ducks.

Hence, 7 pigs = 7 ducks too.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
