Question

(10 Points) A certain lake has a volume of about 480 cubic meters. If the total population of freshwater shrimp in the lake is 600 million, what is the population density of the shrimp in that lake

Answer 1

The population of freshwater shrimp in the lake
`= 1250000`freshwater shrimp in the lake

Step-by-step explanation:

The population density of a species in an aquatic habitat is defined as the number of species living in a unit area/volume of the habitat.

Given-

Number of freshwater shrimp in the lake
`= 600\\`million

`600 * 10^6\\`

Total volume of the lake
`= 480 m^(3)`

Population density of freshwater shrimp in the lake

`= (600 * 1000000)/(480) \\= 1250000\\` shrimps per cubic meter of lake

Answer 2

Population density is defined as the number of living individuals of a certain species per unit area or volume. From the given number of shrimps and volume of the lake, the population density is 1,250,000 shrimps per cubic meter.
