Sheet # 53/ Boys and Dogs

Name: _____________________ Date_____________


Last evening, as Tom watched a Little League baseball game, he noticed some boys and dogs playing on the grass behind third base. He heard a noise and looked to his left in time to see the boys and dogs running past him. He decided to count them in a different way. He counted the legs and found there were 40 of them. Now what he wants to know is, how many boys and how many dogs ran past him?
