What is the total estimated Adélie penguin population in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Adélie penguins= 826,680

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total penguin population= 1,503,054

Adélie penguins= 55%

To calculate the number of Adélie penguins, we need to use the following formula:

Adélie penguins= total penguin polulation*proportion of Adélie penguins

Adélie penguins= 1,503,054*0.55

Adélie penguins= 826,680
