Answer 1

Answer:

0.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 1000 penguins per square miles, the total number of penguins in a  10 square miles will be 1000*10 = 10,000 penguins/10square miles

Since a polar bear has a territory of 10 square miles, and can only eat four penguins within the 10square miles;

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat will be expressed as;

number of penguin eaten per 10square miles/total number of penguin per 10square miles * 100

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat = 4/10,000 * 100%

Percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat = 4/100%

Hence, the percentage of penguins that the polar bear can eat in the 10 square miles is 0.04%
