Answer-

There are 8 crocodiles and 32 alligators.

Solution-

Let's assume,

number of crocodiles = x, so number of alligators = 4x

As the total number of alligators and crocodiles is 40, so

[tex]\Rightarrow x+4x=40[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 5x=40[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{40}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=8[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4\times x=4\times 8[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 4x=32[/tex]

So, there are 8 crocodiles and 32 alligators.
