Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.
He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.
The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.
_____
If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b= 3.5
s= 10.5
p=21
Step-by-step explanation:
b for brush
s for sketch book
p for paint set
b=1/3s
s= 1/2 p
b+s+p=37-2
1/3 s +s+2 s =35
1/3 s +s +2 s =35
10/3 s=35
s= 35*3/10
s= 10.5
b=1/3 s = 10.5/3 = 3.5
s= 1/2 p so p= 2s = 2( 10.5) = 21
10.5+3.5 + 21 = 35
Answer:
3boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
