The height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than 4 times the height of a kiwi. If an ostrich is 108 inches tall, how tall is a kiwi?

Answer 1

Let's represent the height of a kiwi as "k".
According to the information given, the height of an ostrich is 20 inches more than 4 times the height of a kiwi, which can be written as 4k + 20.
We also know that the height of an ostrich is 108 inches.
Therefore, we can set up the equation 4k + 20 = 108.
Subtracting 20 from both sides of the equation, we get 4k = 88.
Dividing both sides by 4, we find that k = 22.
Therefore, a kiwi is 22 inches tall. Answer: \boxed{22}.
