Question

1. the ratio of tigers and peacocks is 5: 8
if total legs 144, total no. of birds and animals.​

Answer 1

Answer:

total no. of birds= 32 and animals= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of tigers and peacocks is 5:8

let the no. of tigers = 5x

so the no. of peacock = 8x

we know that no. of legs of one tiger = 4

similarly no. of legs of one peacock = 2

therefore total no. of legs of 5x tigers= 5x×4= 20x

similarly no. of legs of 8x peacocks= 8x×2= 16x

a.t.q,

20x + 16x= 144

=> 36x= 144

=> x= 144/36

=> x= 4

no. of tigers = 5x= 5×4=20

no. of peacocks = 8x= 8×4= 32
