Makes twice as many slippers for bats as cats, the total slippers is 130 how many bat slippers are made?

11 sets of slippers for cats. Cats have four feet. 4x11=44


43 sets of slippers for bats. Bats have two feet. 2x43=86





This is not exactly twice as many, however, but the total is 130...


Perhaps this question involves fractions? Any one legged cats?





The other way to look at it would be to say that the 130 slippers are divided evenly (65/65) between the cats and bats, but the bats, having half as many legs as the cats, therefore have twice the number of slipper "sets". ???

Makes twice as many slippers for bats as cats, the total slippers is 130 how many bat slippers are made?
c = cats


b = 2(c)





c + 2c = 130





3c = 130





weird question..but it's gonna be fractions pretty much
Reply:well duh there are going to be twice as many slippers for cats than bats cuz cats have more feet...so its gonna be a fraction


c-cats








c+2c=130


c+2c=3c so 3c=130


130/3=about 43 1/3 for cats and twice that many for bats
Reply:This problem has no answer (unless a fraction of a slipper counts). Not every math problem has an answer.
Reply:86 bats and 43 cats
