Answer:

1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the sample proportion of skunks and estimate for the entire population.

Sample:

140 skunks out of 230 + 140 + 120 = 490 animals.

140/490 = 0.28571428571

If a random sample of 5,000 animals are trapped in the city, how many skunks would be estimated to be included?

0.28571428571 out of 5000. So

0.28571428571*5000 = 1429

Close to 1400, which means that the answer is given by option C.

If the difference between a number and 21 is divided by2, the result is 4 times the number. What is the number

Ostrovityanka [42]

(n-21)/2=4n is the equation

First, divide what is in the parentheses by 2
0.5n-10.5=4n

Then, multiply the whole equation by 2 so we have all whole numbers
n-21=8n

Move N so that it is with 8n
7n=-21

Divide 21 by 7
n=-3

Solution: The number (n) is equal to -3
