In 2010, only 700 mountain gorillas remained in the world. Of these, about 5/9 of them were living along the Virunga Mountain range between Rwanda and Uganda. How many gorillas were living in this mountain range? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Obviously you must do something with the two numbers. You can add, subtract, multiply or divide. Which do you think you should do? What is your answer? Does it make sense?
