Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of all the species of birds sighted in the park
“300 species of birds that migrate. This accounts for 2/7 of all the species of birds sighted in the park”
the above sentence means “(2/7)x = 300”
now we can solve it :
(2/7)x = 300
⇔ 2x = 7×300
⇔ 2x = 2100
⇔ x = 2100/2
⇔ x = 1050
