Explanation:
To distribute the bats equally into 4 areas, we need to first find the total number of bats and then divide by the number of areas.
Total number of bats = Number of young bats + Number of adult bats
Total number of bats = 17 + 19 = 36 bats
Now, to distribute them equally into 4 areas:
Number of bats in each area = Total number of bats / Number of areas
Number of bats in each area = 36 bats / 4 areas
Number of bats in each area = 9 bats
So, there are 9 bats in each of the 4 areas.
