H is greater than 4, less than 6, and is odd. H, therefore, must be 5.

Let’s write down what we know:

Julie keeps Rabbits (“R”) and Hamsters (“H”) as pets.

##R=4##

She has more H than R, so:

##H>4## and H is odd.

The total of R and H is less than 10, so

##R+H<10##

we can substitute in for R:

##4+H<10##

and now we can solve for H:

##H<10-4=6##

So we know that H is greater than 4, less than 6, and is odd. H, therefore, must be 5.
