Answer:
Total birds= 4/4 th part
In the river bank= 1/4 parts
In the nest = 1/5 parts
Wandering in search of food= 4/4 - (1/4 + 1/5) =
4/4 - 9/20
= 20/20 -
9/20
= 11/20 parts
11/ 20 parts = 22 birds.
1/20 parts = 22/11 birds
20/20 parts = 2x 20= 40 birds
No birds in the nest = 1/5 of 40= 8 birds

Answer:
Answer:Lets take the total number of birds= X
Therefore, Birds are at the riverbank =x/4
Birds are in the nest = x/5
Remaining birds wandering for food=22
According to the question, => x/4+x/5+22=X
=>9x/20+22=X
=>9x+440=20x
=>11x =440
=>x=40
Total number of birds =40
Therefore birds in the nest =x/5
=40/5
=8
