4 pigs
One way to do this problem is to use a table. Before we start though, notice: (1)that if one third of the animals are chickens then two thirds are pigs and (2)since there are a whole number of chickens there must be three times a whole number of animals.
animals | chickens | pigs | legs |
3 | 1 | 2 | 10 |
6 | 2 | 4 | 20 |
