Answer:

about 3.6 butterflies (round up if needed to 4)

Explanation:

If you have 10 flowers, and 36 butterflies, then to find out how many butterflies on each flower, divide 36 butterflies among 10 flowers (
36/10)

This will give you 3.6 butterflies per flower.

Now, we know you can't have 3.6 butterflies (it's either 3 or 4), but this is just a mathematical prediction, so it just says that if you could have less than a whole butterfly, that's how it would work
