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 manyducks and how many pigs are in the field. (Do not use the strategy of making an equation orsystems of equations for this item)2. Four boys were playing marbles; their names were Gary, Harry, Iggy, and Jack. One of the boyshad 9 marbles, another had 15, and each of the other two had 12. Their ages were 3, 10, 17, and18, but not respectively. Gary shot before Harry and Jack. Jack was older than the boy with 15marbles. Harry had fewer than 15 marbles. Jack shot before Harry. Iggy shot after Harry. If Iggywas 10 years old, he did not have 15 marbles. Gary and Jack together had an even number ofmarbles. The youngest boy was not the one with 15 marbles. If Harry had 12 marbles, he wasn?tthe youngest. The 10-year-old shot after the 17-year-old. In what order did they shoot, and howold was each boy?

Number of ducks = x Number of pigs = 35-x Ducks have two legs Pigs have 4 legs Total legs = 98
