Eric has two bags of birdseed one bag has 10 pounds of seeds and the other bag has 8 pounds of seeds he feels seven birdfeeders with 2 pounds each write a solve an equation to find how many pounds of seeds are left

Answer 1

Eric initially has 18 pounds of birdseed and after filling seven birdfeeders with 2 pounds each (14 pounds in total), he has 4 pounds of birdseed left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eric has two bags of birdseed with a total of 18 pounds (10 pounds in one bag and 8 pounds in the other). To find out how many pounds of seeds are left after filling the birdfeeders, we need to calculate the total amount of birdseed used and subtract it from the initial amount.

He fills seven birdfeeders with 2 pounds each, so the total amount used is:

7 birdfeeders × 2 pounds per birdfeeder = 14 pounds

Now, we subtract the birdseed used from the total initial amount:

18 pounds (initial amount) - 14 pounds (used) = 4 pounds (left)

Therefore, after filling the birdfeeders, Eric has 4 pounds of birdseed left.
