Answer 1

Here's your answer --

number of spiders = 8

number of dragonfly = 6

verification --

if there are 8 spiders then, legs of spider will be 8 × 8 = 64

so there are 64 spider legs

and if there are 6 dragonfly's then number of dragonfly legs = 6 × 6 = 36

so, there are 36 dragonfly legs.

now, total amount of legs = 64 + 36 = 100.

hence verified.

hope it helps !!

have a nice day !!!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

if the no. of spiders =8

number of legs of each spider=8

so the legs of 8 spiders =8×8

=64

if the no. of dragonflies =6

number of legs of each dragonfly=6

so the legs of 6 dragonflies=6×6

=36

to verify

they told that there are 100 legs in all

to verify we should add all the legs of dragonflies & spiders

36+64

100

hence proved
