Carlita saw 5 times as many robins as she did cardinals while bird watching. She saw a total of 36 birds. How many more robins did she see than cardinals?

Calita saw 30 Robins and  6 Cardinals

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

  writing the mathemathecal expression  becomes

Let robins be represented as R

and Cardinals be represented as C

so our first equation becomes

R+C = 36 eqn 1

but she saw 5times as many robins as cardinals, with a total of 36 birds making us have

Therefore R= 5C

 5C +C= 36 eqn 2

STEP  2--- solving equation 2

5C+C = 36

6C= 36

C= 36/6=6

Puting the valueof C=6 in equation 1 becomes

R+C= 36

R+6=36

R=36-6= 30

R=30

Therefore Calita saw 30 Robins and  6 Cardinals
