Answer:
37080
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we need to use proportions:
We don't know the total population in Rookery A but we know that 6334 of the total were tagged. Later, from a sample of 1200 pups, 205 were previously tagged.
The proportions we get are:
where p is the total population.
Now we will solve the proportion for p:
Therefore the total number of fur seal pups is 37077 ≈ 37080
What are the choices, or do you have to give the answer?
Because it states that for every amount of something there is a certain amount based on something else. For example, for every apple i have, i will have two bananas. This will go into the ratio 1:2. Hope this helps☺
B is the correct answer. To find out why it is, we can simply put 2,800, the whole, as 100% and 6.2 into x=6.2. The left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something such as 2800/x=100%/6.2%. Then, you simply solve for x.
STEPS:
2800/x=100/6.2
<span>(2800/x)*x=(100/6.2)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>2800=16.129032258065*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (16.129032258065) to get x
<span>2800/16.129032258065=x </span>
<span>173.6=x </span>
<span>x=173.6</span>
