A group of dragons and sheep are randomly divided into 2 equal rows. Each animal in one row is directly opposite an animal in the other row. If 75 of the animals are dragons, and the number of sheep opposite sheep is 10 more than the number of dragons opposite dragons, find the total number of animals in the group.

Total number of animals in the group = 170

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sheep = a

Number of dragons in the group = 75

Number of dragons opposite dragons = 37

Number of sheep opposite to the dragon = 1

Number of sheep left = a - 1

Number of sheep opposite to sheep =

Since. number of sheep opposite to sheep is 10 more than of dragons opposite dragons,

= 37 + 10

a - 1 = 94

a = 95

Then total number of animals in the group = Total number of sheep + Total number of dragons

= 95 + 75

= 170

Therefore, total number of animals in the group are 170.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
