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

Answer  

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

$\frac{2}{6}\ of\ the\ lion\ packs\ were\ not\ well\ due\ to\ infection.$

10 lions packs were well.

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

$\frac{2\times x}{6} + 10 = x$

$\frac{2x}{6} + 10 = x$

simplify the equation

2x + 60 = 6x

6x - 2x = 60

4x = 60

$x = \frac{60}{4}$

x = 15

Thus the total number of the lion be 15 .

As given

$\frac{2}{6}\ of\ the\ lion\ packs\ were\ not\ well\ due\ to\ infection.$

Than

$Number\ of\ lions\ were\ ill = \frac{2\times 15}{6}$

 $Number\ of\ lions\ were\ ill = \frac{30}{6}$          

                                                     = 5

Therefore the number of lion were ill be 5 .
