Question

A population of 7000 fish experiences 1,000 deaths in a year. what is the population's death rate for that year?

Answer 1

rate is the number of death over time. So 1000 divide by 365 days =2.78

Answer 2

14.29%

Explanation:

The death rate for that year will be the year percent decrease in the population of fish.

Initial population of fish = 7000fishes

Death of fish for the year = 1000fishes

death rate for the year = amount of death of fish for that year/initial population of fish × 100%

Yearly death rate = 1000/7000×100%

= 14.29%
