Question

At a zoo, 5 drops of nectar is needed to feed 2 butterflies. How many butterflies can be fed with 45 drops? (Please help me!)

Answer 1

You can feed 18 butterflies with 45 drops of nectar.

Explanation:

5 drops of nectar = 2 fed butterflies.

First, find out how many groups of 5 are in 45. Then, multiply that by 2 to find out how many butterflies that feeds.

So basically, do:

(45 ÷ 5) × 2 = 9 × 2 = 18

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

45 drops of nectar can feed 9 butterflies.
