It is important to go through details that are provided in the question. Based on those details the answer to the question can be easily deduced.
Let us assume the number of lions at the zoo = x
Number of male lions in the zoo = 2
Then
(1/6) * x = 2
x/6 = 2
x = 2 * 6
= 12
So there are a total of 12 lions in the zoo. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Using this method, it will be possible for you to do similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only be careful about the calculation part.

$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution }}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given \: Rules}}$

<u>The </u><u>sum</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>number </u><u>in </u><u>each </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>four </u><u>rows </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>same </u>
<u>The </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>numbers </u><u>in </u><u>each </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>three </u><u>columns </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>same</u>
<u>The </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>any </u><u>row </u><u>does </u><u>not </u><u>equal </u><u>the </u><u>sum </u><u>of </u><u>any </u><u>column </u>

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin}}$

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>Second</u><u> </u><u>rule </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 75+b+83=76+80+d=a+81+85+78+c+e }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + c + e ...(1)}$

<u>According </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>first </u><u>rule </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

$\sf{ 75+76+a+78 = b+80+81+c = 83+86+d+e}$

$\sf{ 229 + a = 161 + b + c = 168 + d + e ...(2)}$

<u>From </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>got </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 158 + b = 166 + a, 156 + d = 166 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 166 - 158 + a, d = 166 - 156 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 8 + a, d = 10 + a ...(3)}$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>(</u><u>3</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{229+a = 161+8+a+c = 168+10+a+e}$

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c = 178+a+e}$

<u>We</u><u> </u><u>can </u><u>write </u><u>it </u><u>as </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c \:or\:229+a = 178+a+e}$

$\sf{ c = 299-169+a-a\:or\:e = 229-178+a-a}$

$\sf{ c = 60 \: and \: e = 51 }$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>c </u><u>and </u><u>e </u><u>in </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + 60 + 51 }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 189}$

<u>Now</u><u>, </u>

$\sf{ For \: b, 158 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ b = 189 - 158 }$

$\sf{ b = 31}$

$\sf{ For \: d , 156 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ d = 189 - 156 }$

$\sf{ d = 33}$

$\sf{ For \: a, 166 + a = 189 }$

$\sf{ a = 189 - 166 }$

$\sf{ a = 23 }$

Hence, The value of a, b, c, d and e is 23, 31 ,60 ,33 and 51 .

I fill an aquarium to a depth of 3/8 meters in 6 minutes. What is the unit rate in minutes per meter?

Elena L [17]

Answer:

16 minutes per meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Depth = 3/8 meters

Time taken = 6 minutes

What is the unit rate in minutes per meter?

Time taken per depth = minutes per meter

Unit rate in minutes per meter = 6 minutes ÷ 3/8 meters

= 6 minutes × 8/3 meters

= 48/3

= 16 minutes per meter

Identify the sequence as arithmetic geometric or neither -8, -3, 6, 11, -22

melomori [17]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

Check if it's arithmetic:

-8, -3, 6, 11, -22

+5 +6 +5 -33

Nope

Check if geometric:

-8, -3, 6, 11, -22

*3/8 *-2 *11/6 *-2

Nope

So it's neither
