Answer:

Twenty ducklings were swimming at the pond

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of ducklings

y------> the number of adult ducks

we know that

x+y=24 ------> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{1}

so

x=5y

y=0.20x ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

x+0.20x=24

1.20x=24

x=20 ducklings

Explain<br> how u subtract 247 from 538
VashaNatasha [74]
247- 538 = -291
If you line them up in that order 247 you'll have to borrow. Your answer would be -291
                                                  -538

The only way to not get -291 is to flip the two numbers.
