Question

Responses
A 22 inches
B 27 inches
C 44 inches
D 66 inches
E 88 inches

Answer 1

Let's break down the information given in the problem:

Let's say the height of a kiwi is represented by "x".

According to the problem:

The height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than 4 times the height of a kiwi.
So, the height of an ostrich would be 4x + 20.

We are also given that the height of an ostrich is 108 inches:
4x + 20 = 108

Subtracting 20 from both sides:
4x = 88

Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 22

Therefore, the height of a kiwi is 22 inches.
