Felicity the unicorn is in the forest. She is enjoying a delicious pear. A weasel grabs the pear out of her mouth and starts to devour it. Felicity notices that there are 18 pairs of eyes looking at the weasel. Based on the info you've been given, how many animals are in the forest right now?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]11\ animals[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to analize the information provided in the exercise.

Felicity notice that there are 18 pairs of eyes looking at the weasel.

Therefore, assuming that each animal that are  in the forest  looking  at the weasel have two eyes, you can find the number of them by dividing 18 by 2. Then:

[tex]\frac{18}{2}=9\ animals[/tex]

Since Felicity and the unicorn and the weasel are in the forest too, then the total number of  animals that are in the forest right now is:

[tex]Total=9\ animals+2\ animals\\\\Total=11\ animals[/tex]

There were 11 animals in the forest at that time

Further explanation

Algebraic expressions in mathematics are a combination of coefficients, numbers, variables, constants and arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The main composition of algebraic expressions are:

• 1. phrases / terms

• 2. variable

• 3. constants

• 4. arithmetic operations

• 5. coefficients

• 6. exponent

Felicity notices that there are 18 pairs of eyes looking at the weasel.

Assuming 1 animal = 2 eyes (maybe insects can be different), the above statement can be stated in algebraic form:

18: 2 = 9 animals

Because what was asked : the number of animals that existed at the time, then by calculating Felicity as a unicorn and a weasel, the total number of animals was:

an unicorn (1) + a weasel (1) + animal looking at the weasel (9) = 11 animals
