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.

I need help learning how to solve this problem please.
Radda [10]

we have 4 gals, Stephanie, Andrea, Emily and  Becca.

btw the end point should be (-6, -7) and the start point is (8, 6).

so, if we know the distance between those two points, we can just cut it in 4 equal pieces and each gal will be driving a piece.

now, Emily's turn is after Andrea, BUT, we had first Stephenie driving ¼ of the way, then Andrea driving ¼ of the way too, but after ¼+¼, Emily comes on, but ¼+¼ is really 1/2, so when Emily starts, is really half-way through, or the midpoint of that distance.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{Hometown}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})}\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\qquad
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+8}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7+6}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-1}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{Emily starts off}}{\left(1~,-\frac{1}{2} \right)}


Emily's turn ends ¼ of the way later, which will be pretty much half-way in between  (1, -½) and (-6, -7), so is really the midpoint of those two.

(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-\frac{1}{2}})\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7-\frac{1}{2}}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-14-1}{2}~}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-15}{2}~}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{-15}{4} \right)\implies \left( -2\frac{1}{2}~,~-3\frac{3}{4} \right)
