Answer 2

Answer:

The length of blue-and-yellow macaw is 27 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the toucan is about two thirds of the length of the​ blue-and-yellow macaw.

The toucan is about 18 in long.

Let the length of blue-and-yellow macaw be x.

We know that 2/3 of x is equal to 18.

We get this as:

$\frac{2x}{3} =18$

=> $2x=54$

x = 27

Hence, the length of blue-and-yellow macaw is 27 inches.
