2 snakes
4 mice
200 berries
How did you get it
hawk needs 2 snakes
A snake needs 2 mice 2 * 2 = 4
A mouse needs 50 berries 4 * 50 = 200
Okay. Thank you so much Ms. Sue.
You are very welcome.
science way:

2 snakes/hawk * 2 mice/snake * 50 berries/mouse

snakes cancels
mice cancels

2*2*50 = 200 berries/hawk
Thanks, Damon.

That shows what happens when I answer math questions when my last math class was in 1950 when I was a high school junior.
