just follow the steps:

100-15 since it's 15 inches taller

=85

85/5 since it's 5 times the height of the kiwi

=17

The kiwi is 17 inches tall

Hey there!!

Let's take the height of the Ostrich as ' x '

Height of ostrich = 100

Height of the ostrich = 15 inches taller than 5 times of Kiwi

Height of the ostrich = 5x + 15

Let's get this into an whole equation :

5x + 15 = 100

Subtract 15 on both sides

5x = 85

Divide by 5 on both sides

x = 85 / 5

x = 17

Hence, the height of Kiwi = 17 inches

Hope my answer helps!!
