2 7/9 as an improper fraction is 25/9. How? 2 and 7 over 9, that's simple, take your denominator and multiply it by the whole number (9x2=18) and whatever number you got for that answer, take that and add it by the numerator (18+7) and that would be your numerator for your improper fraction as whatever the denominator was as the regular fraction, bring it over, the denominator stays the same at all times. (25/9)

Randy is starting a beehive so that he can have fresh honey. He decides to check the current population of bees in the hive by m

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Best estimate for the bee population is 1280.

Step-by-step explanation:

Randy marked total number of bees = 160

Then he collected 240 bees and observed that number of bees marked

= 30

We have to find the total population of the bee or best estimate for the bee population.

Now we use the ratio of marked bees in the sample vs marked bees in the total population

$\frac{\text{Number of bees marked in the sample}}{\text{Total bees in the sample taken}}=\frac{\text{Number of bees marked in total population}}{\text{Number of bees in the hive}}$ $\frac{30}{240}=\frac{160}{x}$
