Discuss

A37 humans and 98 horses
B24 horses and 50 humans
C31 horses and 74 humans
D24 humans and 50 horses

Verified Answer :

the answer would be B. 24 horses and 50 humans
because, 24 4 (horses legs) = 96 and 50 2 = 100 
100 + 96 = 196 legs. 

so a horse has 4 legs, divide 196 by 4 and your answer is 49 horses and 74 but it isn't in therw so I'm not quite sure
