Question

taylor took his children in the zoo. 2/6 of the lion packs were not well due to infection. 10 lions packs were well. How many lions were ill?

Answer 1

Find out the how many lions were ill .

To prove

Let us assume that the total number of lion in the zoo be x .

As given

`(2)/(6)\ of\ the\ lion\ packs\ were\ not\ well\ due\ to\ infection.`

10 lions packs were well.

Than the equation becomes for the total number of lion in the zoo be .

`(2* x)/(6) + 10 = x`

`(2x)/(6) + 10 = x`

simplify the equation

2x + 60 = 6x

6x - 2x = 60

4x = 60

`x = (60)/(4)`

x = 15

Thus the total number of the lion be 15 .

As given

`(2)/(6)\ of\ the\ lion\ packs\ were\ not\ well\ due\ to\ infection.`

Than

`Number\ of\ lions\ were\ ill = (2* 15)/(6)`

`Number\ of\ lions\ were\ ill = (30)/(6)`

= 5

Therefore the number of lion were ill be 5 .
