5 Paramecium could be accommodated in this FOV.

Explanation:

FOV refers to the field of view of the microscope.

It is the maximum length or area of specimen you can observe in a single view.

If a single paramecium occupies 20 % of the Entire FOV.

Then the number of paramecium that will be accomodate 100% of FOV will be given by ,

$\frac{100}{20} = 5$ Paramecium.

which is equal to 5.
