Answer 1

Explanation:

First you will multiply Rivers edge 3x8=24 and then wooden marsh 8x20=160, lastly canyon creek 15x35=525. So it would be canyon creek, wooden marsh and rivers edge!

Answer 2

Canyon Creek - Wooded Marsh - Rivers Edge

Explanation:

The hiker saw 8 animals in 3 km in Rivers Edge, that makes 8/3 = 2.67 animals per kilometer.

The hiker saw 20 animals in 8 km in Wooded Marsh, that makes 20/8 = 2.5 animals per kilometer.

The hiker saw 35 animals in 15 km in Canyon Creek, that makes 35/15 = 2.33 animals per kilometer.
