Answer:

456 squirrels

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula:

N = M * C / R

Where "N" is the estimated population size, "M" is the number of individuals already tagged, "C" is the total number of those caught the second time regardless of whether or not they are tagged, and "R" is the total number of tagged recaptured individuals.

Now, replacing we have:

N = 114 * 96/24

N = 456

Therefore, there are approximately 456 squirrels in the conservation area.

VashaNatasha [74]

<em>The question has inconsistent or incomplete data, so I'm filling the holes with key data.</em>

Answer:

<em>Every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey= 0.1</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

If some fraction a/b of a whole total M is to be computed and later removed, we proceed as follows

* Compute the portion to be removed as a/b*M

* Subtract it from the total quantity: M-a/b*M=M(1-a/b)

I'm assuming 1/5 of the turkey was lost due to overcooking. It means that (1-1/5) of the turkey remained for dinner, that is, 4/5 of the turkey.

Each people at dinner received the same amount of the remaining, so we must divide 4/5 by 8, to get 4/40, or 1/10. It means that every people at dinner received one-tenth of the original turkey
