There are 8 flowers in a garden. Some insects (butterflies and dragonflies) sit on flowers. There is no more than one insect per
tester [92]

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
