Two bags of bird seed are used to fill these three bird feeders. How much bird seed does each feeder use? Represent the situation using the model. Then solve

Step-by-step explanation:

If two bags of bird seed are used to fill these three bird feeders, then we can say that;

2 bags of bird seed = 3 bird feeders

To know the amount of bird seed that each feeder use, we will say;

x bags of bird seed = 1 bird feeder

Equating both postulates and solving

2 bags of bird seed = 3 bird feeders

x bags of bird seed = 1 bird feeder

Cross multiply

3 * x = 2 * 1

3x = 2

subtract 2 from both sides

3x - 2 = 2-2

3x - 2 = 0

Hence model that represents the situation us 3x - 2 = 0 where x is the number of bird seed that each feeder use.

Next is to solve for x;

3x - 2 = 0

3x = 2

x = 2/3

Hence each feeder used 2/3 bird seed

this is answer of 144 cubic meters
