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}\\

kap26 [50]
This implies that the gametophytes can easily lose water to, and absorb water from, the atmosphere. 
Moss is a flowerless, spore-producing pant. The main moss structure is the gametophyte, a moss's stem and leaves. A moss stem also the axis supports leaf-like structures that carry out photosynthesis, transforming sunlight into sugars the moss uses for food.

Did earth experience normal or reverse polarity 1.5 million years ago
azamat

Normal polarity

Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field used to be twice as strong 1.5 billion years ago as it is today and Earth's temperature other than what the geologists see from the 'normal' pattern. It has been noticed that some volcanic rocks were magnetized in opposite direction to the direction of the local Earth's field. It is clear that the Earth has experienced the normal polarity 1.5 years ago but at that time, the Earth's polarity was poorly understood.
