Question

The table shows the number of resident geese living in four different ponds. Which pond has the greatest population density of resident geese

Answer 1

The Answer is Pond B, I just took the test!

Answer 2

Option B is the correct answer.

Pond B has the greatest population density of resident geese

Explanation:

Pond A:

Population of geese = 88

Area(in acres) = 1.1

Then the Population density of resident geese per acre in Pond A is calculated as:

`Population\ Density=(88)/(1.1)=80`

Similarly:

For Pond B:

Population of geese = 175

Area(in acres) = 1.3

The population density of resident geese per acre is:

`Population\ Density=(175)/(1.3)=134`

Pond C:

Population of geese = 192

Area(in acres) = 1.5

`Population\ Density=(192)/(1.5)=128`

Pond D:

Population of geese = 204

Area(in acres) = 2.0

`Population\ Density=(204)/(2)=102`

Hence, the greatest population density of resident geese is in:

Pond B i.e. 134 Population per acres
