Answer 2

Answer:

60 lions and 100 elephants

Step-by-step explanation:

Lions : elephants = 4 : 7

when 5 elephants were removed, the ratio became 3 : 5

we can express 4 : 7 as 12 : 21, and 3 : 5 can be expressed as 12 : 20

You can see that 1 elephant was taken away (21-20=1)

We need 5 elephants to be taken away, so we can multiply 12 and 20 by 5, which gives us 60 and 100 lions and elephants

we can check this :

60 : 100 = 3 : 5

60 : 105 = 4 : 7

hope this helped :)
