<human>:  There are 36 seagulls on the roof of the Taco Bell. Kids scare 1/4 of them away by throwing stones, and 1/3 of the remaining birds decide to fly to McDonald's parking lot. How many seagulls are left?
<bot>: How many seagulls are scared away by kids? ** First find how many birds get scared away by kids: 36 seagulls / 4 = <<36/4=9>>9 seagulls
How many seagulls are left? ** Then subtract that number from the starting total: 36 seagulls - 9 seagulls = <<36-9=27>>27 seagulls
How many seagulls fly to McDonald's? ** Then divide that number by 3: 27 seagulls / 3 = <<27/3=9>>9 seagulls
How many seagulls are left? ** Then subtract that number from the 27 seagulls to find the final number of seagulls: 27 seagulls - 9 seagulls = <<27-9=18>>18 seagulls
