Answer:

21 birds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent the number of birds and C represent the number of cats.

We have been given that an animal shelter spends $1.50 per day to care for each bird, so the amount spent on B birds will be 1.50B.

The animal shelter spends $8.50 per day to care for each cat, so the amount spent on C cats will be 8.50C.

Alexander noticed that the shelter spent $108.00 caring for birds and cats on Tuesday. We can represent this information in an equation as:

1.50B+8.50C=108...(1)

Alexander found a record showing that there were a total of 30 birds and cats on Tuesday. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C=30...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve system of linear equations.

From equation (2) we will get,

C=30-B

Substituting this value in equation (1) we will get,

1.50B+8.50(30-B)=108

1.50B+255-8.50B=108

255-7B=108

Let us subtract 255 from both sides of our equation.

255-255+7C=108-255

-7B=-147

Let us divide both sides of our equation by -7.

\frac{-7B}{-7}=\frac{-147}{-7}

B=21

Therefore, there were 21 birds at the shelter on Tuesday.

1. What is happening when you are multiplying fractions?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

To multiply fractions, first we simplify the fractions if they are not in lowest terms. Then we multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator, and multiply the denominators of the fractions to get the new denominator.

Find 3 consecutive odd integers whose sum is 225, explain please
aleksklad [387]
3 odd integers have a property that they average up to the middle large one. Let's say we have 3, 5, and 7. 3 is 2 less than 5 and 7 is 2 more than 5. so when you add them it equals 2 times 5. 
After we know that, the sum of 3 odd integers is just 3 times the middle number. ex. 3+5+7 = 3 times 5 = 15
Then we know the some number times three = 225. we find out that the middle number is 75, so the other two are 73 and 77
