Answer 1

gabe has 80 birds

this is because we multiply the number of birds in the cage with the cages GABE HAS

Answer 2

25 birds.

Explanation:

Gabe has the number of birdcages = 4

The number of birds in each cage = 5

Then Gabe bought another birdcage, the new birdcage has the same number of birds.

Now the number of birdcages would be = 4 + 1 = 5

and the number of birds in each cage = 5

The total number of birds in all cages = 5 × 5 = 25 birds.
