Answer: 7 pigeons sitting on the branches, 5 pigeons under the tree
=12 in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Upper branch has x pigeons, lower has y.
Top branch said: "If one of you flies up to us our number will be double yours":
Well, if one of the bottom branch flies up, the top branch will have x+1 birds and the bottom will have (y−1). The top will have double the bottom, so:
x+1=2(y−1)
Top branch said: "If one of us flies down to you, our numbers will be equal":
Now, the top branch will have x−1 and the bottom y+1. The numbers should be equal:
x−1=y+1
Let L be length and W be width
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2W+2L=36
Thus 2W=36-2L, W=18-L
Area of a rectangle is WL=80
Thus (18-L)(L)=80
18L-L^2=80
L^2-18L+80=0
(L-8)(L-10)
Thus L can either be 8 or 10.
Because WL=80
If L is 8, then W=10
If L is 10, then W=8
So either way, the notebook is 8 by 10
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
8 possible outcomes
We can now extend this thinking. If we toss three coins, we have a total of 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 possible outcomes: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT.
There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, so a rate of 120 gallons per minute converts to 4 x 120 = 480 quarts per minute. To find the per hour rate, we simply multiply our per minute rate by 60, obtaining 480 x 60 = 28800 quarts per hour.
