  3. I think there are 7 zepts and 1 zio because 7x7 is 49 and 1x3 is 3 and 49+3= 52.
    This is the only answer.

    1. Well done for having a go. I wonder if you checked the question again because it says there was more than one of each creature. Will your answer still be correct? Mr Janse

  4. 7 x 7 = 49
    49 + 3 = 52
    so there is 7 zepts and 1 zio
    this is the only answer

    1. Great you had a go at answering the question. I wonder if you double check the question if you would still agree. It said that there was more than one of each creature. There may also be other solutions if you give it another go. Mr Janse

  5. 7 x 7 =49
    49 + 3 = 52
    so there is 7 zepts and 1 zio
    and there could be 1 zept and 15 zios
    which means there is two answers not one

  6. 7 x 7 = 49
    49 + 3 = 52
    so there could be 7 zepts and 1 zio
    7 x 1 = 7
    7 + (3 x 15) = 52
    which means there could also be 1 zept and 15 zios
    4 x 7 = 28
    8 x 3 = 24
    28 + 24 = 52
    so there also could be 4 zepts and 8 zios
