Question

Tues

1.There were 32 brown ducklings at a pond. Twice as
many white ducklings arrived., 1/2 of the brown ducklings
flew away. How many ducklings are there now, at the
pond?

Answer 1

80 ducks (16+64)

Explanation:

So if there were 32 brown ducks in the pond at first, then twice the amount of brown ducks (32).

32x2=64 white ducks

So now their are 64 white ducks at the pond. We still have to add how many brown ducks their were so…

64+32=96 ducks in total

But then as the white ducks came in half of the brown ducks flew away.

32/2=16 brown ducks left in the pond.

Lastly add the remaining brown ducks with the white ducks and that is you answer!
16+64=80 total amount of ducks

Final Answer:

80 ducks

I hope this helps! I am sorry if I got it wrong!
