Question: I'm stuck on this math problem: Jerry counts six birds nesting in the bushes, 2/3rd of that number of birds flying overhead, and 3 groups of eight birds each feeding. How many birds does he count in total?
Can you help?
Answer: 
First find how many birds are flying overhead: 6 birds * 2/3 = 4 birds
Then find how many birds are feeding: 3 groups * 8 birds/group = 24 birds
Then add the number of nesting birds and flying birds to find the total number of birds: 4 birds + 24 birds + 6 birds = 34 birds
