Answer:
23 monkeys and 12 zebras
AI says
Let's use a system of equations to solve this problem.
Let (m) represent the number of monkeys and (z) represent the number of zebras.
Monkeys have 2 legs each, and zebras have 4 legs each.
Monkeys and zebras each have 1 head.
We can set up the following system of equations based on the given information:
Legs: 2m + 4z = 94
Heads: m + z = 35
Now, we can solve this system to find the values of (m) and (z).
Let's multiply the second equation by 2 to make it easier to eliminate (m) when adding the two equations:
Legs: 2m + 4z = 94
Heads: 2m + 2z = 70
Now, subtract the second equation from the first:
(2m + 4z) - (2m + 2z) = 94 - 70
2z = 24
z = 12
Now that we know (z), we can substitute it back into one of the original equations.
Let's use the second equation:
m + 12 = 35
m = 23
So, there are 23 monkeys and 12 zebras in the enclosed area.
