Respuesta :

Could it be 120, Because in order to solve that you take 42 divided by 0.35 and then you get 120

Answer: The number of birds he count in all = 120


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of birds be x.

Given: Imari went on a hike and recorded the number of each type of bird he saw.

From the circle graph the number of sparrows =35 % of x=0.35x

It is given that the number of sparrows= 42

[tex]0.35x=42\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{42}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{4200}{35}\\\Rightarrow\ x=120[/tex]

Hence, the number of birds he count in all = 120
