What we know:
we know that there are <u>75</u> chicks in the hen house, we also know that in all there are 108 chicks
What we need to find:
we need to find out how many chicks were outside
Answer equation:
108 - 75 = 33
For every 9 children, there are 4 adults.
If there are 39 children and adults, we can work backwards to find the answer.
Lets start by multiplying 9. Lets do 3. 9 x 3 = 27.
Ok, now we have an estimate of 27 Children, now all we have to do is multiply the number of adults by 3.
Now we can multiply 4 x 3. 4 x 3 = 12. Now we have the number of children and adults.
Now lets add these together. 12 + 27 = 39! Perfect! Now we know that there are 27 children, and 12 adults.
Hope this helps!!
