Answer:

The number of butterflies he collects = 176

The number of moth he collects = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with ratio.

We are told in the question that:He collects 4 butterflies for every moth.

Hence, the ratio of

Butterflies : Moth

4 : 1

Sum of the proportion = 4 + 1 = 5

We are also told he has a total of 220 butterflies and moths.

Hence:

The number of butterflies he collects is calculated as

4/5 × 220 = 176 butterflies

The number of moth that he collects =

1/5 × 220 = 44 moth

____ [38]

The total employees the company now have is 531.

Solution:

Beginning employees in a company = 450

Percentage of employees increased = 18%

Number of increased employees = 18% of 450

                                                       $=\frac{18}{100}\times 450

                                                       = 81

Total employees = Beginning employees + Increased employees

                            = 450 + 81

                            = 531

The total employees the company now have is 531.

sattari [20]
You just add the thickness of the 2 books which is 237+3.56=240.56
Then you round the hundredth place which is 5 and next to it is the number 6 and that’s 5+ so it’s going up by a number. The answer is 240.6 inches tall. I tried explaining it well so sorry if you didn’t understand.
