Answer 2

Total number of deer in the area =
`1396`

Explanation:

Total sample size
`=638`

Number of marked deer
`=48`

Find out
`\%` of marked deer

`\% marked\ deer\ =(marked\ deer )/(sample\ size)*100\\\\=(48)/(638)*100\\\\=7.52\%`

Total
`7.52\%` of total number of deer are marked

let total number of deer in the area
`=x`

marked deer
`=105`

`=7.52\% \ of\ x=105\\\\(7.52)/(100)* x=105\\\\=x=(105* 100)/(752)=1395.625\approx1396`
