Wildlife protection groups build houses to save bats. one bat house holds about 300 bats. larry says that 12 bat houses can hold about 4,500 bats. do you agree

No, because 12 bat houses can hold about 3,600 bats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of bats that 12 bat houses can hold.

According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that one bat house can hold 300 bats.

Therefore, in order to calculate about how many bats can hold 12 bat houses, we can set up the following proportion:

Finally, we must solve for "x" to find is value:

Therefore, we can conclude that 12 bat houses can hold about 3,600 bats and not 4,500 bats.

step-by-step explanation:

what are the statements? and what do you mean by "216 2 1 6"?

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
