Question

Wildlife protection groups build bat houses to help save bats. One bat house holds about 300 bats. Larry says that 12 bat houses can hold about 4,500 bats. Do you agree? Explain.

Answer 1

no

Explanation:

300x12 is 3,600. so no.

Answer 2

No.

Explanation:

As wildlife says that each bat house can hold up to 300 bats, that means that the 12 houses can hold up to 3600 bats in them, so if Larry says 12 houses can hold up to 4500 that means that either Wildlife doesn´t have their number well, or Larry is wrong, so chances are LArry is wrong and is misscalculating in the process, that is why I don´t agree with larry, because for his calculations to be true each house would have to be able to hold almost 400 bats instead of 300.
