OA is C.

7-p425462

is my reasoning wrong?

1/4 o + 1/6 b = 1/2

3 o + 2 b = 6

there are 12 piglets

There does seem to be diffreneces in reasoning between the answer you gave and the answer that was given on the link provided.

So you are saying there is a total of 6lbs of food based on the fact that PIG A recieved 1/4 of all the oat available and 1/6 of all the oats available? You then say 3 o + 2 b = 6??? Where does that come from?

The other explanation, which I have not figured out yet seems to be more logical, but I am not fully sure...

Other thoughts?
