Hi
If the vessel can hold water up to 97 inch and initially the water was at 37 than the area filler by the stone will be
97 - 37 = 60 cubic inch
Now the cow put stones of 3 quarter of a cubic inch of stones to raise the water up to 60 cubic inch by multiplying the area of the stones and area filled by the stones we can know the number of stones
So
60 * 3/4 = 45
So the stones that were put inside the vessel were 45

According the this question the total capacity of vessel is 97 cubic inch and initially water was at 37 cubic inch
so area supposed to be filled by stones= 97-37= 60 cubic inch
aslo we know in order to bring up the water level crow put 3 quarter fo the stones
so by simple multiplication we will have our answer.
60*3/4 = 45 number of stone.
we have our answer now and that is 45 stones
