Answer: There are 12 European butterflies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the number of South American butterflies at the butterfly park.
Since the ratio of North American butterflies to South American butterflies at a butterfly park is 5:3 and the number of North American butterflies at the butterfly park is 30, you can write the folllowing proportion:

Solving for "s", you get:

Let be "e" the number of European butterflies at the butterfly park.
Knowing that the ratio of South American butterflies to European butterflies at the butterfly park is 3:2, and since there are 18 South American butterflies, you can write the following proportion:

Solving for "e", you get:

3c=12+8d
c=12+8d/3
c=4(3+2d)/3
The answer should be 3.5 (sorry if i'm wrong) You list the numbers from lowest to highest and then subtract the third quartile from the first quartile.
