Q: There are 36 seagulls on the roof of the Taco Bell. Kids scare 1/4 of them away by throwing stones, and 1/3 of the remaining birds decide to fly to McDonald's parking lot. How many seagulls are left?
A:
First find how many birds get scared away by kids: 36 seagulls / 4 = 9 seagulls. Then subtract that number from the starting total: 36 seagulls - 9 seagulls = 27 seagulls. Then divide that number by 3: 27 seagulls / 3 = 9 seagulls. Then subtract that number from the 27 seagulls to find the final number of seagulls: 27 seagulls - 9 seagulls = 18 seagulls. The answer is 18.
