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.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:

11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100

11 + 6 = X

36 = 100

17 = X

17 x 100/36 = X

1700/36 = X

47.22 = X

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
