In 1893, a one-million acre area of the Grand Canyon National Forest Reserve was home to an estimated 3,000 Rocky Mountain mule deer. Cattle, sheep, and horses also roamed the reserve. In 1906, government hunters killed off hundreds of mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats when the area was set aside as the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve. The number of Rocky Mountain mule deer rose to over 100,000 by 1923. What was the approximate density of the mule deer in 1923?
f 1 for every 100 acres g 1 for every 1,000 acres h 1 for every acre j 1 for every 10 acres
i wanna say j, but idk
This problem is looking for the ratio of deer:acres, so plugging in these numbers, you get 100,000/1,000,000. All you need to do now is simplify, and you have your answer.
ello mr trump. go with that gut feeling of urs lol and yeah like what thanos said. half of those sentences are just side info (like reasons why the mule deer population went up) the only thing u gotta check out was the acres and population during that year. punch some numbers into a calculator, and u will get the answer. lotta useless info ;-; would that be math or ela??
The answer is 1 per every acre. If the initial amount started off as 3,000 in 1893 then by assuming it doubled every year (roughly) then in 30 years you could expect roughly around a million or so deer (ranging from 800,000 to 1,200,000). I hope this helps! Dm me for more questions. I'm glad to help. (:
