Stale question btw

x + (1/2)x + 1 = 100.

1.5x = 100 - 1

1.5x = 99

x = 99/1.5

x = 66

How is it so 66
Re: Can U Solve This Problem by codeigniter(m): 11:48am On Apr 12, 2020
stanliwise:

x + (1/2)x + 1 = 100.

1.5x = 100 - 1

1.5x = 99

x = 99/1.5

x = 66
But the question say half of us plus u,

Not us plus half of us plus u, where did u get the extra x
Re: Can U Solve This Problem by awesomely: 11:55am On Apr 12, 2020
We the birds = x


Need half of us(the birds) = x/2


Plus you = 1.


To make us a hundred.


Eqn=> x + x/2 + 1 = 100.

Not us plus half of us plus u, where did u get the extra x
”we” x
“half of us” x/2
“you” 1

199 birds are flying. The birds that that one bird met are obviously more than a hundred therefore they will need to remove half of themselves 198/2= 99 then after that they add that one bird to make hundred. The question requires more logic than maths.

198
Why:
They said a group of birds not bird were flying and they met a bird singular one and the bird greeted them hello hundred implying it taught they were hundred and they (the group of birds) said they are not hundred that they need half of the group of birds half of the group of birds=198/2=99 plus + you the bird they met singular meaning 1
Which adds up to:
X being the group of birds
Y being the bird they met singular 1
X=198/2=99
Y=1
X+Y=100
So in conclusion the group of birds are 198

'we r nt hundred' simply infer that they r nt up to hundred...
we "need"...... need has to do with 'in addition'


My opinion though..... d ans is 66

No 198 is also not hundred. Need can mean we have to do away with depends on how you see it.

Brilliant. People always resort to Mathematical solutions and leave logic.

x != 100 is not the same as x < 100, it is x<>100

A bird has to fly to meet another flying bird haba we are talking about the sky here I don't think a bird can stay on air without flying definitely the singular bird is flying

When a falcon find a prey what does do

Nd in real sense the real task is to solve the equation not to know which bird flies nd which doesn't

Pls i don't get how you mean logic nd mathematics rock even if you think you won't need it,it still useful when you know hw to apply nd logic still don't get you

0.5x + 1 = 100
0.5x = 100 - 1
0.5x = 99
(Divide both sides by 0.5)
x = 99/0.5
x = 198

It said we are not not ohh not were are less than hundred nd that they need half of the grp of birds plus that one not plus half and the one

I mean we assign mathematical operations to everything instead of thinking logically first then applying mathematics.
Re: Can U Solve This Problem by denvers: 8:58am On Apr 14, 2020
There are 198 birds.
Since they need half of 198 which is 99,
plus 1 to make 100
