Answer 2

Answer:

30 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

One third of a flock of birds are flying in a sky and two fifth are playing nearby and the remaining eight birds are drinking water from the ponds.find the number of birds in the flock.

Let the number of birds in the flock are x

So,

One third of a flock of birds are flying=x/3 birds

two fifth are playing nearby=2x/5

According to the statements

$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{2x}{5} + 8 = x \\ \\ \frac{5x + 6x + 120}{15} = x \\ \\ 11x + 120 = 15x \\ \\ 4x = 120 \\ \\ x = \frac{120}{4} \\ \\ x = 30$

number of birds in the flock are 30.
