Answer:

4 butterflies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dragonflies, then the number of butterflies = 2x.

As more than half the flowers are occupied by 1 insect:

2x + x > 5.

3x > 5

x > 5/3.

If x = 2 then there are  4 butterflies and 6 of the flowers are occupied.

If x = 3 there are 6 butterflies and 9 flowers are occupied, but there are only 8 flowers, therefore the answer is 4 butterflies.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

x butterflies and y dragonflies

4 < x + y 《 8

x = 2y

4 < 2y + y < 8

4 < 3y < 8

Only multiple of 2 between 4 and 8 is 6

So 3y = 6

y = 2

x = 2y = 4
