Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Sailing was a treturous thing. Enough people needed to come in order to operate the ship, as well as sacrafise any deaths that may occur. After all this, once landed, enough healthy people need to be able to settle and build shelter on the new land to sustain themselves.
