Rachel owns 2 parakeets. One fourth of all her birds a re parakeets. How many birds does Rachel own?
Rachel owns 2 birds.
Because 2*4=2.
no
Let the number of total birds be x
(1/4)x = 2
multiply both sides by 4
x = 8
She has 8 birds.
What??? Your second post makes no sense.
To solve this problem, we need to use the information given. It says that one-fourth of all Rachel's birds are parakeets, and we know that she owns 2 parakeets.
Since one-fourth of her birds are parakeets, we can set up an equation to represent this relationship.
Let's say the total number of birds Rachel owns is x. Since one-fourth (or 1/4) of her birds are parakeets, we can write the equation as:
1/4 * x = 2
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * (1/4 * x) = 4 * 2
This simplifies to:
1 * x = 8
Therefore, Rachel owns 8 birds in total.
