Question

To track the reptile population around a lake, researchers marked 200 turtles. A few weeks later, they counted 480 turtles, of which 64 were marked. To the nearest whole number, what is the best estimate for the turtle population?

Answer 1

Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

64/200 = 32/100 = 16/50 =

8/25 of 480 turtles marked

divide 480 by 8 and then multiply the quotient by 25

480/8= 60

60*25=1500
