At the "no mutants allowed" country farm, every sheep has 4 legs, every chicken has two legs, and all animals have only 1 head. asked to count how many sheep and chicken are in the fields, a farm boy reports back that there are 140 feet and 50 heads. how many sheep and chicken are there? there are sheep and chicken at the farm.

When solving this problem: 3025/5.5 = a/90.75 you get 49912.5 which would be the length of one of the sides of a square when the area is only 90.75 inches. is that answer correct, why, and how is it possible?
