There are different kinds of math problem. There will be 11 rats in sewer #1.

<h3>What are word problem?</h3>

The term  word problems is known to be problems that are associated with a story, math, etc. They are known to often vary in terms of technicality.

Lets take

sewer #1 = a

sewer #2 = b

sewer #3 = c

Note that   A=B-9

So then you would have:

A=B-9

B=C- 5

A+B+C=56

Then you have to do a substitution so as to find C:

(B- 9) + (C-5) + C = 56

{ (C- 5)-9} + (C-5) + C = 56

3C - 19 = 56

3C = 75

B = C- 5

B = 25 - 5

Therefore, B = 20

A = B - 9

= 25 - 9

=11

Therefore, there are are 11 rats in sewer #1

b) rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator:

1/2 = 3/6

1/3 = 2/6

Now subtract:

4 3/6 - 1 2/6 = 3 1/6
