Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,
c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)
(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7
Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7
3 months, 96 plus 78x3 = 330 (78x3=234+96) 110X3=330 meaning it is 3 months
Let l, t, b represent the numbers of lions, tigers, bears, respectively.
2l +3t +3b = 156 . . . . . . . 156 meals per day are supplied
l +t = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . . . . there are 3 times as many great cats as bears
l +t +b = 68 . . . . . . . . . . . there are a total of 68 animals
_____
The last 2 equations tell you
.. 4b = 68
.. b = 17
Subtracting 3 times the last equation from the first gives
.. -l = -48
There are 48 lions, 3 tigers, and 17 bears.
Answer:
A is 33.5430
B is 307,000
C is 285.39
D is 6,810
Not sure what the 33. is but that should be the right answer
