Answer 1

64

Explanation:

Answer 2

64 feet.

Explanation:

From the question given, we can see that the answer has been done half way.

Now, the concluding part can be obtained as follow:

52/78 = x/96

Cross multiply

78 × x = 52 × 96

78x = 4992

Divide both side by 78

x = 4992/78

x = 64 feet

Therefore, the distance 'x' between the lions and monkeys is 64 feet.
