Answer:

4 birds were at the shelter on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the bird and y represents the cats.

As per the statement:

An animal shelter spends $1.50 per day to care for each bird and $6.50 per day to care for each cat.

⇒ Cost for x birds = $1.50 x and  Cost for y cats = $6.50 y

It is also given that Robert noticed that the shelter spent $123.00 caring for birds and cats on Monday.

⇒  1.50x+6.50y = 123             ......[1]

Total number of birds and cats on Monday are 22

⇒x+y =22           .....[2]

Multiply equation 2 by 1.50 we get;

1.50x+1.50y = 33           .....[3]

Subtract equation [3] from [1] to eliminate x, we get;

5y = 90

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

y = 18

Substitute the value of y in [2] we get;

x +18 = 22

Subtract 18 from both sides we get;

x =4

Therefore, 4 birds were at the shelter on Monday

a bottle of juice holds 3/8 gallon when it is full. if 1/3 of the juice has been poured out, how much juice is left in the bottl
taurus [48]
Let's get the denominators of both fractions to be the same before moving on, aka finding the least common multiple of the denominators.

8 and 3 have a LCM of 24. So, we have to multiply 1/3 by 8 and 3/8 by 3.

1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24

3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24

There is only 1/24 of juice left in the bottle if the remaining amount of juice has 1/3 poured out.

Hope that helped.
