200 flying insects she catch for her project .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We have , Heather had to collect insects for her biology project. She was able to collect 225 total insects. She collected 8 times as many insects that could fly as insects that couldn't fly. That means insects ratio of non-fly to fly is 1:8 .
There are a total of 225 insects , and for every one non fly insect there are 8 fly insects , Let x be the number of insects that can't fly so:
⇒

So , Number of fly insects = 8x = 8(25) = 200 . ∴ 200 flying insects she catch for her project .
