​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• 1/3 herd of deer grazing in the field.
• 3/4 of remaining are playing nearby.
• And rest 8 are drinking water.

To find:

• the number of deer.

Answer:

Let the total number of deer in the herd be n.

Then, the number of deer grazing in the field be n/3.

Also, the 3/4 of the remaining ( i. e., n - n/3 = 2n/3 ) are

playing nearby.

So, their number is 3/4× 2n/3 = n/2

so, the rest number of deer = n - n/3 - n/2= n/6

According to question,

the rest number of deer is 8.

=> n / 6 = 8

=> n = 8×6

=> n= 48

Thus, the number of deer in the herd is 48 .

Answer:

48 is the correct answers
