Question

The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square meters. Assuming that the frog population density in the pond is uniform, what is the total population size of the frogs in the pond? The total population size of the frogs is

Answer 1

Answer:

4440 frogs

Explanation:

I believe the answer is 4440, bc 370 x 12 is 4440.

Answer 2

Given: The population density of frogs in a portion of a pond is 12 frogs per square meter. The size of the entire pond is 370 square meters.

To find: The total population size of the frogs in the pond.

Method: Using unitary method of proportions

Solution:

Let p be the density of the frogs present per square meter.

Let A denote the total area of the pond.

∴ p = 12 frogs/m² and A = 370 m²

The total number of frogs in the pond is given by,

$p \times A = 12 \times 370 = 4440$

Therefore, there are 4440 frogs in the pond.
