Box = b
Parrots = p
b/p = number of days it can support the parrots
Half a dozen = 6 (A dozen is 12)
1/6 = 15
To work out the percentage of '6' '5' is, use the equation
(5/6)*100 = 83.333....
Meaning that with one less bird, the box will support the birds for 16.666... (100 - 18.333...) longer
(15/100)*116.666... = 17.4999....
The box will sustain the parrots for 17.5 days

Answer:
-135/14
Step-by-step explanation:
There are an infinite number of rational numbers between any pair of numbers you name. These two number have the decimal values ...
-67/7 = -9 4/7 = -9.571428... (repeating)
-78/8 = -9 3/4 = -9.75
So, numbers like -9.6 = -48/5, or -9.7 = -97/10 are rational numbers that lie in the range you specified.
If you like, you can convert these numbers to ones with a common denominator (56).
-67/7 = -536/56
-78/8 = -546/56
These limits suggest several possible rational numbers with 56 as a denominator: -540/56 = -135/14, for example.
