and half of that
with one more

How many birds were there ??


plz answer my question ​

Answer 1

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 1 = 99

99 ÷ 3 = 33

Obviously the other half needed was 33

33 × 2 = 66

66 birds were flying

66 + 33 + 1 = 100 birds in total

Answer is : 66 birds were flying.

Answer 2

no of birds- X

We and us again=2X

with half of us= X/2

and half of that= X/4

SO

    2X + X/2 + X/4 + 1 = 100

    2X + 2X/4X + X/4 = 99

                       11X/4 .= 99

                                      99 x 4

                             X=  _______

                                         11

                            X = 36

so no of birds=36
