    Total Animals = 11

    Total legs = 38

    Assumed all the animals are chicken:

    11 x 2 = 22 legs

    Difference in legs:

    38 - 22 = 16

    The difference in legs between rabbits and chicken:

    4 - 2 = 2

    Number of rabbits = 16 : 2 = 8

    Number of chicken = 11 - 8 = 3

    Answer: There are 8 rabbits and 3 chickens.

    Check:

    (8 x 4) + (3 x 2) = 38 legs
