the length in in. will be 27

Answer 2

The length of blue-and-yellow macaw is 27 inches.

Explanation:

The length of the toucan is about two thirds of the length of the​ blue-and-yellow macaw.

The toucan is about 18 in long.

Let the length of blue-and-yellow macaw be x.

We know that 2/3 of x is equal to 18.

We get this as:

`(2x)/(3) =18`

=>
`2x=54`

x = 27

Hence, the length of blue-and-yellow macaw is 27 inches.
