The height of an ostrich is 20 in more than four times the height of a kiwi if an ostrich is 108 in tall how tall is a kiwi

Answer 1

Let's set up an equation to solve for the height of a kiwi, represented by the variable "x".

According to the given information, the height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than four times the height of a kiwi:

Ostrich height = 4 * kiwi height + 20

We know that the ostrich height is 108 inches, so we can substitute this value into the equation:

108 = 4x + 20

Now, let's isolate the variable:

4x = 108 - 20
4x = 88

Divide both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 88/4
x = 22

Therefore, the height of a kiwi is 22 inches.
