Answer:

the number of viruses are in Dish A is 3,391 viruses

Explanation:

The computation of the number of viruses are in Dish A is shown below:

Since there are 2826 square milimeters area

And, the population density of 1.2 viruses per square

So, the number of viruses in Dish A is

= 2826 × 1.2

= 3,391.2v viruses

Hence, the number of viruses are in Dish A is 3,391 viruses
