One third of a bird's eggs hatched if 2 eggs hatched how many eggs did the bird lay

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of eggs layed be x

1/3x + 2 = x

Multiply each term by 3

x + 6 = 3x

6 = 3x - x

6 = 2x

x = 6/2

x = 3

three-fourths of an hour

36÷48=0.75

0.75=

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
