Given :
1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while on its way to the river.
Each elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river.
Each monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand.
To find :
Total number of animals going to the river
Solution :
It is said that 1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while on its way to the river.
This means no animals saw 9 elephants going to the river.
Therefore, the number of rabbits going to the river = 1
Number of elephants going towards the river = 0
Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river.
Number of monkeys going towards the river = 3
Each monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand.
This means each monkey has 2 tortoises with them, one in each hand.
Therefore 3 monkeys have 3 x 2 = 6 tortoises with them
Number of tortoises going to the river = 6
Therefore, the total number of animals going towards the river
= 1 rabbit + 0 elephant + 3 monkeys + 6 tortoises
= 10 animals
Therefore, the number of animals going to the river = 10
