Answer:
6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Length of great roadrunner=16 inches
Length of roadrunner=8 inches
We have to find the length of lovebird.
Let x be the length of lovebird
According to question
\(4x=(16+8)\)
\(4x=24\)
\(x=\frac{24}{4}=6\)
Hence, the length of lovebird=6 inches
