If it's divided, the answer is 150.6... and simplified would be 3.0

The question is A park ranger tags 100 animals use a proportion to estimate the total population for the sample. 83 out of 125 animals are tagged

So I did 83 over 125 equals 100 over x 83/125 100/x
83x=100x125
83x=12500
83x/83=125000/83
x=?

Uhh o.o

xofallenangelox · Answer

x = 150.6

xofallenangelox · Answer

Just round the answer. If the number next to 6 is less than 5, then let it stay the same and say 150.6

xofallenangelox · Answer

And then 6 is over 5, so then round that to 151

xofallenangelox · Answer

So the amount is approximately 151 animals :)

littlediva12459 · Answer

So the answer would round to 151 animals

xofallenangelox · Answer
