Answer 1

The park ranger counted a total of 1120 eggs in the nests in Everglades National Park.

Step-by-step explanation:

The park ranger in Everglades National Park counted the number of eggs in 28 nests and found that there were an average of 40 eggs per nest. To find the total number of eggs the ranger counted, you can multiply the average number of eggs per nest by the total number of nests. In this case, the calculation would be: 40 eggs/nest x 28 nests = 1120 eggs.

40×28= the answer is 1,120 eggs that he counted
