The maximum number of wren that could nest in the area based on the number of cholla cacti is:
<u>42 wrens</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information provided by the text mentions that each cholla cactus can house a nest in which two adults and a maximum of five young will live (seven in total per nest), so this information can be represented as follows:
Maximum number of wrens = number of cholla cactus * 7
Since six cholla cacti are counted in the area, this value is replaced in the created equation:
Maximum number of wrens = 6 * 7
<u>Maximum number of wrens = 42
</u>
The area could house <u>a maximum of 42 wrens, where 12 would be adults and 30 would be young at most</u>.
Hi, i hope this helps! The coordinates are (6,6). I figured this out by plotting the given points and remembering that a rectangle has parallel sides and right angles :))
