Question

Bats Alive is a bat rescue group that works with fruit-eating and insect-eating bats. Last year, the group saved 5 fruit-eating bats for every 2 insect-eating bats they saved. If the rescue group saved 51 more fruit-eating bats than insect-eating bats last year, how many bats did they save altogether?

Answer 1

119

Explanation:

Answer 2

119

Explanation:

lets begin by adding 5 and 2

=7

now the difference between 5 and 2 is 3

so we know that 3/7 is 51

lets divide everything by 3 to get 1/7

1/7 is 17

now lets do

17 x 7 to find the total bats saved

= 119
