Question

Each of 5 bird watchers reported seeing the same number of rosette spoonbills in a day. If they each reported seeing the same number of rosette spoonbills over 14 days, how many would be reported in total?

a) 5
b) 14
c) 70
d) 20

Answer 1

The total number of rosette spoonbills reported in 14 days by 5 bird watchers can be calculated by multiplying the number of spoonbills each person saw by the number of bird watchers and then multiplying it by 14. Hence, option c) 70 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many rosette spoonbills would be reported in total if each of the 5 bird watchers reported seeing the same number of spoonbills over 14 days.

Since each bird watcher reports the same number of spoonbills, we can multiply the number of spoonbills each person saw by the number of bird watchers. Let's say each bird watcher saw x number of spoonbills.

Then, the total number of spoonbills reported would be 5x (since there are 5 bird watchers).

Since this number is reported over 14 days, we can multiply it by 14 to get the total number of spoonbills reported in 14 days, which is 5x * 14 = 70x. Therefore, option c) 70 is the correct answer.
