1. Half of them are grazing the field. 2. Three fourths of the remaining are playing nearby => 3/4 of the half are playing nearby 3. The rest 9 are drinking water from the pond => the rest is 1/4 of the half = 9 => the half is 4/4 = 9*4 = 36 4. The half is 36 so the total number is 36*2=72

Second way: 1. Half of them are grazing the field. 2. Three fourths of the remaining are playing nearby => 3/4 of the half are playing nearby => 4/8 (which is half of the total number) are grazing the field and 3/4 of 4/8 = 12/32 (/4) = 3/8 are playing nearby which means 1/8 are the rest. 3. The rest 9 are drinking water from the pond => the total number is 8/8, 1/8=9 so the total number is 9*8=72
