Some birds were flying and met a bird on their way.
The bird greeted them ‘Hello hundred!‘
They said we are not hundred, we need half of us plus you to make us hundred.
Question: How many birds were flying?
199,
first the birds that were flying were 198, half of us would be 99 plus you would be 100.
and then the bird they met should also be considered to this count. so 199 in total
Half of us 199÷2= 99.50
And half of u = .50
= 100
I thank half of us and you means half of the birds flying and half of the bird that was passed along the way (you)
Total 66 birds were flying so half of that would be 33.
66 + 33 + 1 = 💯
If you believe 66 is the answer then you’re wrong.
But if you say its 67 then I can agree with you. But now there’s no 67 in the option. But 199 is there. The truth is this, the total number of birds flying and met a bird is 198, note the word “hundred ” 198 is hundred + but hundred is 100. Now add that one bird they met on their way to the 198 it gives 199…
So the total birds flying was 199
Who told you that the bird they met was also flying? That info is not in the question
Quite logical because flying birds couldn’t have exchanged so many words with a sitting bird!
The questions stated “we need” so they are adding thier division by 2 to their actual number + the 1 they met. So the ans ain’t 199
and who do you think is refered to us the
”their’?
Remember the bird said they aren’t hundred yet and that they need a certain number to make them up to the said number, the English is simple let’s stop making it difficult for ourselves,
Thank you.
There is no “yet” in the statement
We need half of us plus you to make us 100 not half of us plus us to make us hundred comprehend it
im even wodering where they got that from
1/2× + 1 = 100
× + 2 = 200
× = 200 – 2 = 198
× = 198
49
Because 100 is the first hundred
Half of 100 is 50
The flying birds are 49 if the one bird they met join them,they will be 50 whis is half of 100
Therefore they will need another 50 to become hundred
Let x be tne number of birds in troop
X+1 = total number of birds flying (of course the sole bird is also flying because they met him while the troop was flying)
It says we need half of us plus you to make us 100
So :
0.5x +1=100
0.5x=100-1
0.5×=99
X=198
Total number of birds flying is x+1= 198+1=199
X cant be 66 because the sentence did not say we need half of us more plus you to make us 100′ if it did then the equation will be
X +0.5× q 1 =100
1 5x= 99
X = 66
Total number of birds will be 66+1=67
First 67 is not in the choices
And foremost, the sentence did not say we need half of us more plus u to make us 100′ it said we need half of us plus you to make ys 100
So 199 is the correct answer
=The number of birds let it be x.
=X+1 🕊️ = 100
=So half of 100=50
=Therefore 0.5x brids flying+1 =100
=0.5x+1 makes 100
=Colect like terms together by taking 1to the other side
=0.5x=99
=X=198
PROOF
=198 DIVIDE BY TWO EQUAL= 99 THEN ADD 1 =💯
Yeah
199
199
The answer is either 198 or 199 flying for we don’t know the state of that +1 bird. My pick is it’s flying so 199. If you are thinking 66. You are wrong. Here is my logic: The key term to have the equation be (1/2x + x + 1) = 100 should be the term ‘more’ in the problem statement. No way the same question will have the same output if the key term more is included. since it’s not included, the equation ultimately remains at the state (1/2 x + 1) = 100 … The answer should be either 198 or 199, depending on the state of that plus 1 bird…some may argue the +1 bird is not on the move, some might say it’s relaxing and others, it is on the move as well. Mine is to eliminate the wrong answer 66. My pick will be 199 birds flying if that +1 bird is also in the move flying.
The correct answer is 199 .How ? Well..
Consider this statement; we need half of us plus you to make hundred.
Then let flying birds be y
Based on statement, we can do the following simple calculations:
Y/2+1=100
Y+2=200
Y= 198
Total birds flying= y+1
=198+1
=199
