Question

half of a herd of deer are grazing in the field and three fourths of the remaining are playing nearby the rest 9 are drinking water from the pond find the number of deer in the herd​

Answer 1

Let number of deer be x
Number of deer grazing in field =x/2
Number of deer playing nearby =3/4* number of remaining deer
=3/4*x-x/2
=3/4*x/2
3x/8
Number of deer drinking water from the pond =9
X-(x/2 +3x/8)=9
X-(4x/8+3x+8)=9
X-7x/8=9
X/8=9
X=9*8
X=72
Hence, total number of deer in the herd is 72

Answer 2

Answer:

72 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of deer be x

Number of deer grazing in field =x/2

Number of deer playing nearby =3/4* number of remaining deer

=3/4*x-x/2

=3/4*x/2

3x/8

Number of deer drinking water from the pond =9

X-(x/2 +3x/8)=9

X-(4x/8+3x+8)=9

X-7x/8=9

X/8=9

X=9*8

X=72

Hence, total number of deers are 72
