Question

The table shows the number of resident geese living in four different ponds. Which pond has the greatest population density of resident geese

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.  

Pond B  has the greatest population density of resident geese

Step-by-step explanation:

Pond A:

Population of geese = 88

Area(in acres) = 1.1

Then the Population density of resident geese per acre in Pond A is calculated as:

$Population\ Density=\dfrac{88}{1.1}=80$

Similarly:

For Pond B:

Population of geese = 175

Area(in acres) = 1.3

The population density of resident geese per acre is:

$Population\ Density=\dfrac{175}{1.3}=134$

Pond C:

Population of geese = 192

Area(in acres) = 1.5

$Population\ Density=\dfrac{192}{1.5}=128$

Pond D:

Population of geese = 204

Area(in acres) = 2.0

$Population\ Density=\dfrac{204}{2}=102$

Hence, the greatest population density of resident geese is in:

                       Pond B i.e. 134 Population per acres
