10 animals are going to the river.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river. Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river. Each monkey had 1 tortoise on each hand.

To Find:

How many animals are going to the river?

• Read each sentence carefully, it's mentioned that one rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river. Here one rabbit is going to the river.

• Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river. Here 3 monkeys are going to the river.

• It is mentioned that each monkey had 1 tortoise on each hand. If one monkey had 2 tortoises. Then 3 monkeys had 6 tortoises. Hence, all 6 tortoises are going to the river along with the monkeys.

• Hence, 1 rabbit + 3 monkeys + 6 tortoises are going to the river.
