Answer:
the answer is -0. 9 for the question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = - 1 2/5 and b = 2 1/3
<u>We have a + b, lets compare with the options:</u>
- A) a + (- b) = a - b, no
- B) a - b, no
- C) b + a = a + b, yes
- D) b - a, no
Let C be the number of cats and B be the number of birds.
Each cat has 4 legs while each bird has 2 legs. Thus,
4C + 2B = 22
2B = 22 - 4C
Each cat and each bird has 2 eyes
2C + 2B = 16
Substituting 2B
2C + 22 - 4C = 16
2C = 6
C = 3
2B = 22 - 4(3)
B = 5
2 cats and 5 birds
