Question

An emu that measures 60 inches in height is 70 inches less than five times the height of a kakapo what is the height of a kakapo in inches

Answer 1

The height of the emu is 60 inches, which the problem says is 70 inches less than five times the height of the kakapo. You can use h to represent the height of the kakapo.

In the form of an equation, this is:

60 = 5h - 70

Simplifying the equation gives us:

130 = 5h

26 = h

So, the height of the kakapo is 26 inches.
