Answer 1

Answer:

The answer for this question is=72

Explanation:

Step-1:-Let the total no.of deers=x

Step-2:-Deers grazing in the field=1/2 of herd of deer

=1/2×x

=x/2

Step-3:-Remaining deers =x/2

Step-4:-No.of remaining deers playing=x/2×3/4

=3x/8

Step-5:-No.of deers drinking water=9

Step-6:-So,Deers grazing in the field+deers playing+deers drinking water=Total no.of deers

Step-7:-Hence,x/2+3x/8+9=x

Step-8:-So,4x+3x+72/8=x

Step-9:-Therefore,7x+72=8x

Step-10:-Now, 72=8x-7x

Step-11:-Then, 72=x
