Answer 2

There are 5852 deer live in the county.

Explanation:

The population density of deer in the county is 11 deer per square mile.

That means, there are 11 deer in 1 square mile in that county.

Given that, the total area of that county is 532 square miles.

For getting the total number of deer, we just need to multiply the 'population density' by the 'total area'.

So, the total number of deer
`=(11* 532)= 5852`
