The answer is 6 per m2.

A population density is the number of animals per 1 m2.
So, this problem can be solved by using a proportion:
If 60 raccoons live in 10 m2, how many raccons will live in the 1 m2.
60 raccoons : 10 m2 = x raccoons : 1 m2
60 raccoons : 10 = x raccoons
x raccoons = 6 raccoons

Thus, the population density is 6 raccoons per m2.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, 6\frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\

Explanation:

The Population density of any species in an ecosystem is equal to the number of that species living in one unit of area.  

Thus , population density can be represented as  

\frac{Total population }{Total area of habitat} \\

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

= \frac{60}{10} \frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\= 6 \frac{Racoons}{m^2}\\

HELPP PLSSS :) American pikas are prey to long-tailed weasels. Which change in a limiting factor would increase the carrying cap
Damm [24]

Answer:

A. increase in American pika population size

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the idea that relates to how much population can an environment sustain before collapsing. Here, the answer would be A. increase in American pika population size  because if you increase the food for weasals, naturally the population carrying capacity goes up because now the environment has food to feed the weasals which can contribute to increasing the carrying capacity (i.e. the environment can now handle larger population of weasel than initial condition)
