How many animals there are in my zoo?
An ant has six legs, a spider has eight legs and a mouse has four legs. In my zoo, I recently counted 612 legs which came from an equal number of each of these animals. Can you identify how many animals there are in my zoo?

There are 102 animals in the zoo
x(6+8+4) =612
solving this we get x=34
No of animals in the zoo is 3x = 3 * 34 =102
