And correctly.
Answers
Answer:
36 deers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of deer in the herd be x.
One fourth of the herd is in the forest.
∴ The number of deer in the forest= x/4
One third of the herd is grazing in a field.
∴ The number of deer grazing in the field = .
Number of deer drinking water = 15.
According to the given condition,
x/4+x/3+15=x
3x+4x/12=x-15
7x/12= x-15
7x/12×12= (x-15)×12
7x=12x-180
7x-12x= -180
-5x= -180
x= 180/5
x= 36 deers

Answer:
here's your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
let the total no. of deer be x
No. of deer's in forest = x/4
No. of deer's in field= x/3
No. of deer's drinking water = 15
Total no. of deer's = x/4 + x/3 + 15 = x
3x/12 + 4x/12 - x = -15
7x/12 - 12x/12 = -15
-5x/12 = -15
5x /12 = 15
5x = 15 × 12
5x = 180
x = 180/5
x = 36
Ans.) The total no. of deer's are 36
